This is a great place to stay. Right on the coast. I loved hearing the surf all night. My only complaint is that the shower was small.

The only good thing about this place is its location: it is literally right across from the beach. Other than that, the best way I can describe it is "felt like the most expensive Motel 6 I've ever stayed in." Attached photo is of the "Courtyard view." Yes, that's a ladder leaning against the wall about 2' from our window. And yes, that's the entirety of the "included breakfast," which I would basically consider decorative and not worth touching.

The Hotel is in town within walking distance to stores and restaurants. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Ticket office for excursions is close by also. I suggest paying a little extra and getting a room overlooking the ocean.
