Convenient We had a partial ocean view however there was a restaurant with outdoor seating right beneath our balcony which was opened from 10 in the morning to 11 at night. The lock on our balcony door was broken. Our refrigerator did not work so they brought a new one to our room.

Place was in shambles. My room had holes in the walls. There was air coming in through the front door so the weatherstripping was bad. Check in with the problem they didn’t have my room ready till about 4:20. Check out was unpleasant. Great location, good restaurants, right next-door to the hotel, beachfront access was nice. Parking sucked! If you didn’t get a parking spot underneath the hotel, you had to park in another lot, which was a bit of a walk.

We chose a room with a balcony facing the main road. We sat outside and enjoyed the view of people watching. I was pleasantly surprised by how clean everything was, considering it was a beachfront hotel. The walk to the beach was a short distance.
