I stayed at this hotel for a relaxing getaway, and the view of the harbor was absolutely breathtaking! The room was cozy, but the breakfast could certainly use some improvement. While the service was accommodating, I noticed some areas that have declined since my last stay here. Overall, it had a great atmosphere and decent value for the price, just a few tweaks needed for a perfect experience.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel which is perfectly situated near the beach with stunning bay views. The oceanfront location is a real highlight, and the rooms are spacious and well-appointed. However, I did experience some noise from the foghorn and inconsistent Wi-Fi during my visit, which took away from the overall experience. Still, I would definitely recommend this place for a getaway or business trip.

My stay at the Oceano Hotel was a mixed experience. The room was spacious and well-equipped, but the dated decor and uncomfortable bedding were significant drawbacks.

While the amenities are decent, I expected more for a four-star property, especially considering the value for money.

This hotel offers a beautiful property that's perfect for families, especially with young kids. It’s a great beach getaway with lots of nearby dining options, but it lacks a pool and the beach is a bit of a trek. Additionally, my room was smaller than expected and the mattress was disappointing, impacting my overall comfort during the stay.
