Great but too expensive to be blocked by cliff.
Pros:

I liked that breakfast was included. It was an expensive room so that's nice.

Cons:

I didn't like that the ocean front view was partially obstructed by the massive cliff in room 704. I paid good money I wanted a complete ocean front view, no obstructions whatsoever.

A pet-friendly establishment with exceptional views, but unfortunately, subpar bedding.
Pros:

Despite the pleasant atmosphere, the hotel could have been more enjoyable if the beds had been softer. Checking out at noon was a consideration, but the condition of my back and the lingering odor of animal in the room made me reluctant to leave. This resulted in me waking up at 6:00 AM. I had anticipated a hearty continental breakfast, but the undercooked eggs and sausage left us with limited options, forcing us to indulge in the muffins and bagels.
