Great room balcony and hotel location. Hotel staff gave beach toys for my baby to play. Also gave beach towels. Hotel Bar/breakfast staff helped very well evenings and morning times to provide hot milk for baby and special coffee drink for us. Reception staff helped us to accommodate for early check in at around 12 noon by seeking another alternative bigger room.

Nice clean but a bit run down. The elevator didn’t work and we were on the 3rd floor. The phone in the room didn’t work and the tv didn’t work but they did fix the tv. Beach chairs and beach towels were very old and junkie. Not bad not great best part is the location! Right on the beach!!!

The room was clean and neat. Easy access to the beach. Valet parking was about $48 per day. Breakfast was served in the adjacent hotel which was a small inconvenience. For the money I would definitely stay again.
