The hotel rooms are spacious with full kitchen (appliances, dishes, utensils, etc.) and good size bathroom. Staff was helpful when we had minor issues like needing towels. I enjoy being in rooms without carpet flooring, so that was a plus for me. About a 15 minute drive from the beach. I would stay here again!
