Location is the best! Lots of walkable dining options. Microwave abd fridge were nice. They have txting system, you txt them whatever you need and they bring it up ASAP, very handy! My big complaint was lack of blowdryer, and couch and floor could have been cleaner. But when right on the beach, sand is to be expected. Beds are comfy, towels are large and thick, not cheap or overwashed. Id stay again.

Great location, old but clean. I wish the room had a table and another place to sit besides the bed. The Shower needs a shelf, soap, shampoo and conditioner inside the shower not in the other room with the sink. Over all this a good place and I would stay again.

When checking in we found out there was a $37 charge for parking per day which we weren’t aware of and when we tried to connect to LAZ parking it took a long time and was very inconvenient. The rooms are older, but comfortable and a beautiful view. Unfortunately, we had the people up above us being very loud late at night and early in the morning. Not impressed checking out was easiest thing we did.
