The location cannot be beat. The hotel is old and it shows. Walls are paper thin and even though you are right on the ocean I could still hear the guy next to me snoring all night. Other than that, it was great.

It was right on the beach. The sound of the ocean waves at night was amazing. The room was clean though a bit dated. Parking was not good due to many patrons at the restaurant. Though we didn’t use the pool (too cold) it is beautiful.
