The staff was excellent & the room was clean. However it’s the least comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in—it was so worn out it was sloped on each side. And as other reviews note, the parking lot is tight. Book this place for proximity to the beach & walking around but that’s about it.

The location of this property is amazing!! You are very close to the beach and can easily walk to great restaurants to eat! What frustrated me is that they did not have enough staff (their words) to give clean towels or refresh the room as requested. To get replacement towels on day 2 of a 3 day stay and a quick sweep of the sand, seems reasonable in a $250/night hotel.
