This was such a good hotel for us. There are two coffee shops VERY close by a cafe donut shop and a couple other shops. Best of all the beach is right across the street, 8 minute walk and that’s with 2 toddlers. They offer beach items to take for the guest at NO EXTRA charge. Just take your clothes and you’re set here! Would Definitely stay again.

Staff was friendly and welcoming from check in to check out. The light breakfast (muffin & fresh pressed juice) was a lovely touch. You can sign out nice beach chairs and towels too which was convenient! Beds and pillows are comfy, linens clean and fresh. Older hotel that’s been recently renovated - only negative is the slow drain in the sink & toilet. Would stay again for sure.
