The room was clean but very outdated. The portion of the hotel we stayed was more like a motel. The shower had little water pressure.

Liked: Amenities
Room was very clean. We went in the off-season, we were on the first floor with a small patio looking at the dune. The pavilion to sit and look at the water was very well done. We were put in a room that had a shared door, if you're not staying with the people next to you, it gets very loud and feels like they're standing in your room. At one point they got turned around because they tried to open the door a few times.

Our room was right on the beach front, rolling waves breaking (ar a safe distance). There is a ramp to avoid the stairs when you are transporting luggage. Plenty of restaraunts and retail locally.

We really like the updated room but there was only one mirror - in the bathroom (no mirror in the room itself). When my sister was drying her hair & putting on makeup, I had to wait till she was done to dry my hair & put on makeup. Please add at least one more mirror in each hotel room.
