Perfect location!!!!!

Perfect location. Right across the the street from the beach, a couple a blocks from all the restaurants. We stayed for the weekend and didnt have to use our car at all. The room was perfect for 2 people. Bed was comfortable, room was very clean. The beach right across the street was perfect. No waves, clear water and the sunset was amazing!! We will definitely be coming back!!

Location is excellent -- right across from the beach. But the accomodation was extremely disappointing. The picture on the Hotel.com site of the room was nothing like the one we got. There was no way we could put 4 people in it --we were fortunate one in our party dropped out. The unit was very old -- nothing had been updated and it was very cramped. It was clean, though, which helped. I can't really recommend this place based on our experience.
