This hotel was PERFECT. The view from the room (3rd level) is just incredible. Very clean, big and comfy beds, exceptional shower. Parking is very secure and at the property. The hotel also had a pool and complimentary popcorn, and coffee. It is located right across the beach and pier with many restaurants and cafes.
