"It was underwhelming. You get what you pay for. I wanted ocean view just not through the parking lot and buildings. Also carpets/room smelled - maybe due to smoking? Not sure."
"Loved the location, very walkable to restaurants and beach. Staff was friendly and helpful. Note that although it is very close to the beach they do not have beach towels, chairs, etc. so be sure to bring your own. Parking is great! Also enjoyed the little market by the pool area, they have coffee and other items that you can get and sit by the fireplace at night!"
