The hotel was clean and comfortable although not especially noise-proof. The breakfast-in-a-baggie hung on your doorknob is a little weird. The location--on the beach--is perfect!

The room was comfortable and clean. The view was outstanding with a water view. The beds were very comfortable and the shower was so nice, it has me thinking about redoing my shower at home. The breakfast boxes were a nice touch in that you could select from a variety and they were delivered directly to your room at a time of your choosing. It wasn’t a lot of food but the breakfast sandwich was enough and it was relatively tasty for a microwaved breakfast sandwich. One thing to be aware of is that housekeeping service has to be requested. I missed this message if I was told at check-in, so wondered why a housekeeper didn’t make the beds or takeout the trash, but since we were only there two nights, it wasn’t a big deal.
