The bed was very comfortable and the room was quiet. Continental breakfast was very good - comparable to a Hamptons Inn. Location was ideal for walking to the see the sunset at the beach. Would definitely consider coming back.

I had a great stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and nicely updated. The staff was friendly and helpful during my entire visit. We had some trouble with the tv tho. I do not know if was only remote or the actual TV. It was hard to change channels.
