Great Hotel - Subpar Restaurant
Pros:

Close access to the interstate, great view.

Cons:

Hemingway Restaurant is subpar for the cost. Food was overcooked, potatoes were dry, drinks were in what I could only compare to the tiny mouthwash cups and orange juice was out. Just not worth the value for a self serve style Restaurant.

Weekend stay
Pros:

We loved the location. It was amazing getting to sit on the balcony and overlook the ocean. Rooms were clean and staff was friendly.

Cons:

We didn't like the parking but glad that they offer valet since over flow is the next street over. The water pressure in the shower sucks.
