There were restaurants on the beach with live music across the street from the hotel. The updated room had a microwave & fridge. Our room had a partial view of the ocean and beach. Bikes were available free of charge. The breakfast had hot items and the usual breads and cereals. We would recommend this hotel.

Beach view was lovely. Our room was very specious and clean. Our toilet kept running all night and the water pressure was very low in the shower. Didn’t make a huge impact on our stay so it was fine. Nice bar/restaurant with roof top was great and walking to the beach in just a few min was the best.

If you are booking the Surf and Sand for the free hot breakfast, don’t bother. There is a limited selection and when we went this morning the bagels, bread, and croissants were completely wiped out with no replenishment. Other than that, the hotel is very well located being close to the beach, 2 restaurants within walking distance and a short ride into town.

Location was great just 1 block from the beach, easy walk. It was cold when we went so the pool wasn't used. The beds were comfy BUT there was dog hair all over the couch. We had to ask for a blanket to cover it so we could sit down surprisingly they never offered to clean or change our room. Other than that it was nice.
