The Nevada

10/10 Excellent
"Phenomenal staff and everything is high end super comfy bed and amazing view of the ocean. Shower is huge hot and has several options. Coulee coffee maker in the room, complimentary prosecco upon arrival drip coffee and scones in the morning, delicious restaurant on site with multiple vegetarian option and outstanding cocktails/mocktails, moon pies on the bed. Worth the trip even in the offseason. Will def be back again soon. More than we expected! "
