    very spacious room, disabled shower though floor very slippery once wet from shower. Fire pits made the stay we loved watching the sunset by the fire.

    Everything was great except that our room had a noisy heater so that made for a rough night of sleep. The room was spacious, easy parking, good access to great ocean views at the sister hotel. Would recommend.
