Great hotel, but huge storm so had to leave early

A wonderful hotel, really nice clean room, comfortable beds and great morning buffet included. Unfortunately, we arrived on the weekend of a big storm (one bridge was subsequently closed) and the surfer event was cancelled. We booked 2 nights but decided to leave on the 2nd day, and it was just past check out so no refunds or future creditd because we booked through hotels.com :-( . We would love to come back sometime. Nice friendly staff and easy beach access. Great location too.

Surfing to excellence

Amazing service! Every employee I interacted with was super nice and helpful! I noticed a couple of places in the hotel and hotel room that may have needed closer cleaning. The breakfast was delicious, but I would have preferred a self-serve buffet style breakfast with a couple more items. One last thing my family and I enjoyed was the daily cookies, available popcorn, and free wine :)
