“From some rooms, the ocean is close enough to hear the waves, a truly calming sound for a peaceful night's rest. The grounds are kept well, with open spaces and ample parking, and while the on-site restaurant's menu might be a touch pricey for some, its convenient location across from the coast, with benches for sunset viewing, is a clear advantage for anyone exploring the highway's stunning vistas.”
