This is a great location - right on the beach. You fall asleep to the sound of the ocean. The rooms are large but only one chair. The bathroom is tiny including the shower. There is parking on site.

So Much Smoke!
Apart from the friendly staff, this is by far one of the worst hotel stays I’ve had in a long time. The beach chairs were rusty and broken (I can understand some rust being by the water, but broken?!) As for the private beach area, it was far more crowded than other nearby sections of the beach. Also, despite being ‘non-smoking’, other guests were smoking directly outside our room on the shared balcony so we smelled smoke all night long. We also heard other guests all night long; snoring, opening doors, flushing toilets, etc. If you’re sensitive to smoke, and you’re looking for a comfortable, quiet night’s sleep, you might be better off staying somewhere else.
Most shared balcony tables had full ashtrays.

I did not like that there was no reliable WiFi available. Sometimes you could get most and most times you could not. That was very frustrating. It was very quiet and enjoyable up until the last night. someone checked into the room above me and there was lots of stomping around in the room late into the night and early in the morning. I did not enjoy that. I don't think I will return. It was very expensive. I spent $1000 for 4 nights and I do not think it was worth that much money. I would not describe parking as easy--I did have a parking spot but it was really hard to get in and out of.

Great staff who are friendly and work very hard. Beach is great and well maintained. It would be great if there were more plugs in the room and the bathroom had a shelf or two and another towel rack and towel ring for hand towel. Also mirror over sink is small and designed for people 5 feet tall.
