The staff is great , very responsive to requests. We stayed on the 2nd floor and had a room with the view of the beach , that was nice. The building is old so the walls and floors are thin and the room below us complained they could hear us. Overall, it was a nice stay, but I will not stay there again.

Nice place to sleep at. Not much else. Short walk to the beach. No restaurants within walking distance. Better drive a small car . Parking is under the building . The spaces are narrow and short. The ceiling is low. Not good for big SUV’s.
