Absolutely no negatives! We plan to return. The room was impeccably clean. The shower was amazing. We had a lovely view of the ocean directly from our balcony. Breakfast was free and the options were great. Eggs, sausage, coffee, bagels, juices, yogurt etc. The hotel is in a very quiet location and perfect for our staycation to celebrate our anniversary. Customer service and the whole experience was top tier!
