Breakfast was spotty but the service was great, unobtrusive. Location was a bit of a hike to the hill but quietly away from the esplanade. Nice patio on the third floor to take in the view.

If I stood on my tip toes I could see the ocean, the shower was super tiny and made shaving my legs or washing feet impossible. Also no fitted sheet which made for interesting sleep. I would stay again, very nice staff and property overall, just be ready to climb a big hill!
