The hotel was clean and as pictured. The towels are very thin, and typical hotel toiletries sparse (shampoo and conditioner are a all-in-one small individual packet...). Location is nice -- 2 blocks from the ocean.

Close to the beach, shops, and dining options. Rooms were spacious and clean, bed was comfortable. My Major complaint was the loud and obnoxious noise from the 2nd floor occupants above us. From check in to checkout day/night the stampede was ridiculous. I’ll request a 2nd floor option next time if I return.
