Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location was great, the staff was so kind and helpful, and the rooms have been updated. The only downside was the noise - the walls are thin, and if you are on the first floor, you get headlights in your room, parking lot noise, and the sound of walking on the hard floors in the room above you. I heard the entire conversation from the room behind me while in the bathroom, as if they were in my room with me. The bed was comfortable, but if you are a light sleeper like me, it is very noisy if there are any other guests around. Great little spot to grab food and coffee just steps from the property and super easy walk to the beach!

Great modern room, comfy bed. Only downside was the fire pit wasn't working during our stay. The hot tub was small, but very relaxing. Great location & love that you can get towels, chairs & umbrellas to take to the beach.
