Basic, but clean room. Everything we could want. Kitchenette, balcony, bath. We were in town for the New Years celebrations. This was the perfect location. Close enough for an easy walk to the pier. Great soundproofing. Didn't hear a thing from inside the room.

The room was nice and the staff was very accommodating. Being right on the ocean was great and it was nice that there was a lot to do within walking distance. It was very disappointing that they did not have an elevator as our room was on the top floor.
