I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is fantastic, right on the beach with easy access to nearby restaurants. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The dining experience had a good variety, especially for someone like me who is gluten-free. However, the traffic congestion made it a bit challenging to turn left out of the parking lot due to the proximity to downtown.
