Mostly wonderful stay

The location, cleanliness, and service was all wonderful. The bed was pretty comfy. Being able to walk across the street to the private beach was amazing, and the main reason I booked this hotel. The only bummers were: 1) The dish TV Guide was so incorrect you had no idea what was playing on any channel, you just had to scroll through every individual channel (like the old days). TV wasn't the focus of our trip so this was a smallish problem, but it made relaxing in the room a little less nice. 2) The walls were paper thin and I'm a light sleeper. The folks next to us in 206 had their TV at a perfectly reasonable volume but the walls were so thin I could hear every song and word. Also the people on the other side of us or above us were talking and if we didn't have a noise machine on, I probably would have heard their conversation.
