I had a cozy stay at this hotel during Christmas Eve. The room was luxurious with a decent size kitchen and in-room laundry facilities, although it was quite noisy with wind whistling in and a loud fan. The ambiance was special with a gas fireplace. Service was a bit inconsistent but mostly friendly and helpful. The location was amazing with a lovely outside deck right on the beach, perfect for morning and evening walks along the boardwalk. The dining experience had its ups and downs but offered fresh and local products. Overall, a mix of delights and shortcomings but still a memorable stay.

Our stay was truly delightful with breathtaking views from our patio, though the room we thought we booked wasn't ready until 4. The service was incredibly helpful and kind, even if a bit slow at times. The location was perfect for beach visits and shopping, making us feel like we were somewhere far away. The dining experience left something to be desired with overpriced and tasteless dishes, but the beachfront facilities were a real highlight.
