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.
