Lovely location near the beach. Rooms generally fine for a family (we were in a family room). Cleanliness was good but not excellent, rooms and shower. Breakfast was a disappointment for $30 although the kids eat free was a nice touch. Parking nearby on weekends is pretty good on the street. At the time of writing it's 2P but only Saturday morning 9am-12pm is enforced - meaning you can park virtually all weekend for free.
