Nice hotel and the staff were friendly. The room was not large but nicely appointed and laid out. I liked the fact that there's a microwave, mini-frig, and coffee maker in room. The room appeared to have been updated and was clean. The bed was comfortable. My only minor complaint is that the pillows were a little too firm. Love the location near the beach and that the hotel offers free bike loaners. Overall, very enjoyable stay and would recommend this hotel to anyone.
