“Securing a room with an ocean view here truly transformed the stay, especially with the fireplace offering a cozy reprieve during inclement weather. The rooftop patio provides a stunning vantage point for sunsets, complementing the well-appointed, recently updated rooms. This spot on the waterfront feels both convenient for exploring and pleasantly removed from the busiest thoroughfares.”
