“Lovely! Moonstone Beach is right across the street! It's quiet and gorgeous!!! If you love rocks it's covered in beautiful rocks and sea glass. Lots of what looks like moonstone but is chalcedony. The hotel is so adorable and very clean! The bedding was beautiful and clean, it looked brand new. The pillows were amazing, I definitely thought about taking one home Get the ocean front view! I slept like a baby hearing the ocean waves all night and the view in the morning is amazing!!! Ask for a fan if you need a cross breeze because there isn't air-conditioning or a fan in the room and the windows dont stay open. I used their bathroom tray to prop them open I wish I could have stayed longer”

“I am from out of state visiting my sister. She made reservations for us here for 2 nights. This was her first time staying at this hotel. Our room was very nice & cozy. The beds were comfortable. In room coffee maker. It is right across the street from beautiful Moonstone Beach so we went for a walk on the beach. Unfortunately, I stepped in beach tar and couldn't get it off. My sister went to the office to see if they had any recommendation on getting it off which the young man was not helpful. We also had an inquiry w/the girl in the office and she too was not real helpful. However, David the manager was very helpful with resolving an issue we had w/our room. He was personable & had a sense of humor. They do have coffee in the morning but no breakfast items which is a little disappointing. I would recommend staying here.”
