As advertised. the property was right om the ocean and
beach was nice. The staff at the hotel was also very nice.
Our room was terrible. It was in a basement area with a half-window facing a parking lot under some stairs and another facing an overgrown wall. No ocean view here.!

The most unique thing is pet friendly and on the ocean. We had fog for a day and a half but the ocean breeze and views are really relaxing. We had use of HP parking and managed the two sets of three stairs and ramps to get to second floor with no problem. Thank you for a wonderful property
