Liked: Staff & service
The customer service and staff were terrific. The bathrooms need to be renovated. We stayed in two different rooms. One standard room and then the other half of our trip was it a suite. Both bathrooms had very small and low toilets. The hotel is right off of a main road and very noisy. To get to the beach, we had to cross a busy street. So I would say it was about an eight minute walk to the beach. The free morning breakfast is good.
