We stayed in this place several times throughout the years and just loved it, but this time we’re so disappointed! The room has no charm like before, the bathroom and shower is just ok. The only worse thing about the room is there’s no heater! To heat the room is fire place and you can’t use the fireplace in the evening while you sleep because the light comes from the fireplace is So Bright, so very cold while you sleep. But the best place about the hotel is The location! Wow, right at the beach, beautiful!

The room was very spacious and comfortable. The bed was great. The property was very quiet - that may have been due to the fact that we did get lucky and have the very back corner unit. We had 2 issues - the fireplace barely worked and one morning it took about 15 minutes of running the shower to finally get hot water. Not deal breakers (since the hot water did eventually work) but just something to note. The front desk service was sub par - not rude or anything, just very blah and uninterested in helping. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much though. The beach is right across the street, there are some restaurant and shopping options right there on the main beachfront strip, but we mostly went to Main Street (about a mile walk or a really quick drive). Definitely recommend Indigo Moon as a dinner spot.

Very weak internet in an area with very weak T-Mobile signal so pretty isolated feeling. No food utensils, just things they want to upsell in lobby. Parking good. Beds good. Mirror with built in light kept flashing off/on sporadically. Can't fix that so didn't request it being fixed and we were in last room with 2 queens. Only 2 restaurants nearby totally full and locals line up with chairs as don't take reservations. Reading reviews sounds like not that good. I think the good reviews are from locals to support local ;) $300 as fine as been on 2 week west coast trip averaging about that a night but felt like taken advantage of given the amenities

Overall, I was disappointed. First, I think I paid a bit more for a room with a partial ocean view. I’m not sure there’s any way to specify whether you get a ground floor or second floor room. I got a ground floor room, and it’s not great. Folks walking by outside get a clear view into your bedroom and it’s a bit uncomfortable. But not a deal breaker. What really bothered me was the condition of the furniture. Chairs were horribly stained and frankly, dilapidated. I’m shocked they kept them in a room that costs over 300/night. When my fiancée mentioned the chairs, the young lady working the front desk casually mentioned they were going to be thrown away soon. Yikes. If they’re headed to the trash, maybe don’t keep them in the rooms? That leads me to my second complaint - the staff. They were nice enough. But the majority appeared to be under the age of 25. It felt like several college kids running a hotel. Nothing against young folks working an honest day, but the level of service and attention to detail was commensurate with - well - 20 year olds. Finally, the hotel offers nothing in terms of basic amenities. They claim to partner with the cow tipper down the road for room service. But the QR code on the menu didn’t work. So we tried to call them on our cell, and the cow tipper didn’t answer. Maybe the front desk knows how to order? No luck, the phone in the room didn’t work. What a mess. There’s plenty of options in the area. I cant recommend this one.

It wasn’t a bad stay but I wouldn’t stay here again. They said their breakfast cafe was open and that we could get coffee and food delivered to our room but the restaurant was closed and no one told us. The staff told us to order from there and when we tried calling they did not answer so we drove down there and it was closed.

While we loved the location we had two incidents that tainted our visit. This motel only has maid service if you ask. So we did ask and the day we came we were out til 7:30pm. They turned on the heater/fireplace. We came back to a 100 degree room. Took hours to cool down as there’s no air conditioning. Then the second night two dogs started barking 2 rooms down. Two o’clock in the morning there wasn’t much we could do. Mentioned it on checkout and they said “we are a dog friendly place”. I should have called they said. The staff was friendly otherwise. It’s a little worn around the edges but a great location on Moonstone walkway.
