Beautiful view, unhelpful staff,not worth the pric
Amazing view but most stuff entirely unhelpful. Not worth the price. Upon check in, although already paid for, made me go get my physical drivers license although electronic version was provided. They told me the physical ID would provide information that the electronic version did not provide. Two identical copies. This was after waiting forever to check in. Then failed to tell me that there was a short little pathway to my room. Instead, we drove all the way around and had to go down countless flights of stairs to get to our room. It was then an issue to get assistance with the luggage. I had to call four times just to order breakfast. Mind you, I was attempting to order as a surprise for my husband’s birthday. Overall, very frustrating with the staff, but again, beautiful view. Definitely would not say thought that the view is worth the hassle and price.

Hotel location is great with fantastic view. However, I found the staff at the front desk unhelpful and rude. The checkin time is at 4:00 pm and we were there at 3:35. They didn’t check us in and texted us at 4:15 that the room is ready! after waiting for 20 minutes in a long line I was able to check in second time. The rooms are outdated and the coffee machine was not functioning properly. The pool was closed and no where in Expedia where we booked our room had mentioned about it. The food and the staff in the restaurant were great.

We came for my 70th birthday and I was not disappointed at all. I had heard the property was starting to show its age, etc but our room was so lovely and has a fantastic view of the ocean. The staff at check-in, valet, servers in the restaurant, everyone were to welcoming and gracious. Hated to leave after 4 days.

Old rooms but beautiful view.
If you have any problems with walking and stairs make sure you tell staff when making reservations. Some of the rooms are not convenient to parking. We had to unload and go down 3 flights of stairs since the hotel is built into a hill. Then go park uphill and walk back down. Could be a problem for some people. Hotel rooms are old and they say fireplace but it was just a fake fireplace and looks really cheap. Restaurant was not open for dinner since we were mid week. For a hotel that looks like it would be a 4 star hotel it is more like a 3 star. The views are amazing. But if you are looking for a hotel to celebrate an Anniversary or special occassion just be aware that this hotel gives off a vibe of being old.

The views were great. Service at the restaurant was very slow. Our room was very dated and lacked amenities for the price. During the check in process they tried to sell us additional nights for furture dates. Felt like a time share sales pitch.
