Fantastic Stay Near the Shore

ample parkingbeach accesscheckout extensionconvenient location
I found ample parking which was a great start to my visit. The location is superb because it is right across from the beach. I enjoyed easy access. The staff extended my checkout time because my flight was delayed, and I greatly appreciated their understanding. This spot is also close to numerous food places, allowing easy walking access.
The staircase seemed a bit old. So I would not recommend it for people with limited mobility.
Rooms
9/10
The room featured two comfortable queen beds that suited my needs perfectly, and it was impressively clean. I noticed that it had sufficient space to accommodate luggage and move around freely. Everything was really pleasant.
Dining
8/10
Many restaurants sit a short walk away, made dining out very simple and convenient. These locations offer diverse cuisines, so I could easily find options that appealed to me. The food was enjoyable.
