Breakfast
Terrace By The Sea offers a breakfast experience that is delightful for those who enjoy simple, continental fare with an exceptional view. Guests often commend the beautiful setting for breakfast with seating options that overlook the ocean or river, providing a picturesque start to the day. The breakfast includes a variety of bagels, bread, English muffins, yogurt, oatmeal and an assortment of fresh, seasonal fruits, along with high-quality orange juice that many guests appreciate.

The breakfast room and outdoor dining area get high marks for ambiance with many guests noting the pleasant and helpful staff who enhance the experience. It's a great spot for late risers with breakfast service extending until 11 am and guests particularly enjoy the opportunity to dine with such stunning views.

However, for those seeking a heartier breakfast with protein options like eggs, bacon, ham or cheese, the offerings might feel limited, as the available fare leans heavily towards carbohydrates and fruit.

Several reviewers appreciated the rooms with balconies and beautiful ocean views, although some were disappointed with rooms lacking a view. The hotel's prime location right by the ocean and its walkability to the town are significant advantages. On the downside, a few guests mentioned inconveniences such as tight bathrooms, noisy surroundings and minor maintenance issues like aged furniture and subpar Wi-Fi connectivity.

While the standard of cleanliness remains high, the hotel seems to struggle with consistency in room size and amenities, leaving some guests wishing for better value given the price.
