Room was nice, comfortable bed. We had a balcony but the view was awful. View of someone's yard with tons of trash. The biggest bummer was the pool was closed due to construction. Might've picked a different hotel if we had known.

There is no beach view from the hotel, it's too far inland. There was construction going on that we weren't aware of, so the lobby was rearranged. Our room was clean and lovely, I liked the shampoo and body wash provided, a standard, simple room for a quick stay.

The hotel was clean and also had wonderful staff members. I wish the contenintal breakfast had more items to choose from though, was sort of small. Our room was decent, but only down side was it was facing the intersection so a little loud, and also the random freight trains that went by early in the morning. My husband and I would definitely stay there again and maybe it would be finished with the remodel..

The hotel was under construction so there was no pool and no area for breakfast. The construction noise was loud and there was dust everywhere. The walk to the beach was not short. I will never stay here again. Many better hotels for the same price.
