4/10 Fair

There was a homeless man camping in the parking lot and shouting obscenities until 2 am. The facilities were fine, but I would not come back here because it did not feel safe for families. The staff meed to be more proactive about these issues.

Perfect comfort
It was great, quiet and clean plus a ceiling fan. The hot water was good at night. Hot in the morning, I was happy. I will definitely go there again!

Great little find
This is a very nice hotel. The staff is kind and welcoming. Their continental breakfast had a wonderful variety. The serve wine and cheese and crackers in the afternoon so we sat out front and relaxed as we watched the sun go down. You can walk down to the beach from the hotel. Highly recommend!

Would stay here again
The front desk was very friendly and helpful. Free breakfast and happy hour were nice. My only criticism is the pillows - they were terrible - I woke up with a stiff neck every morning. The bed itself was very comfortable.
