It’s my second time staying in this hotel. I really love the location - right by the beach. The rooms are clean and reasonable renovated. On a negative side - parking is somewhat limited. The bathroom could benefit from a bit more shelf/ stool space to lay out toiletries. There was no counter around the sink, and no convenient location to hang my hanging toiletries bag.

Disliked: Amenities
The room was clean and the housekeeping and front desk staff we wonderful. The hotel provides very little in the way of amenities. The kitchenette had no towels or dish rack to wash dishes, and only one little sponge that was cut in half. We were unaware that the hotel location had no lobby and we had to walk a few blocks with our suitcases to another hotel to check in and out and this was not explained ahead of time.
