8/10 Good
"Traffic was a little louder than we had anticipated but the California King bed was super comfortable & the room was bright & clean. In years past we have stayed at the sister resort, Coastal Inn & Suites. Our only complaint was allowing a truck & trailer to pull in at the end next to our room & letting the people hang out in the back of the trailer & fire up a grill, they also let their little ones run up & down the ramp, it was distracting & loud. Not very romantic as far as an Anniversary trip goes. Also note that the entryway mat needs to be changed out, it was sliding all over the place, didnโ€™t match the decor & was quite dirty. Room was overpriced but staff was friendly & welcoming. Overall we had a good night!"

"Very nice room, housekeeping was every 3 days but got new towels daily. Good supplies of snacks & sundries. Staff helpful giving us info about the International fireworks competition- was sold old for months but found viewing areas. Breakfast was decent- had Belgian waffles & smaller ones too, fruit available & yogurt biscuits & gravy, eggs, toast, cereal. Plenty of coffee & tea. Plenty of room for our bike & trailer in the back. We were part of a Can Am rally group & about 20 of us stayed there"
