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.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The pros: The beds were super comfortable, and the amenities is very good. Lots of outlets for me to plug-in and charge my phone. TV looked brand new and worked great. There was a microwave and a fridge as well.Parking was also terrific. The staff was very friendly, which was a huge Plus. The cons: the floor in our room was actually pretty dirty and into the bathroom as well. Overall, I’d stay there again. Another plus was they are right by the beach.
