Right on the ocean. Comfortable and liked having a restaurant in the hotel. Loved having someone greet us and give us any info we needed anout the area. We did make a note that the bathroom needed more light more makeup/shaving. And suggested more light at beds for reading.

It's a decent hotel with a great view. The room was basic but comfortable and the view is worth it. Also convenient to walk to beach, shops, restaurants, bars and the Pier. Staff was friendly.
