SeaCrest OceanFront Hotel

8/10 Good

"Beautiful ocean views from our room. Breakfast has a nice variety and seating is outside overlooking the ocean. Staff was all great, friendly and helpful. My only gripe was on our balcony in the south building, the neighbors AC was on our patio making hearing the ocean at night not possible when their unit was running. Otherwise would definitely return for another stay."
