You will pay for every service at the hotel, including parking in their lot, which costs $25 a night. The location is great, but there are other locations at the exact cost and with more excellent service.

We felt unsafe
we didn’t feel safe having the patio open to the main road. There were people frantically knocking our door at 8pm then later during the night. We didn’t feel safe having the atio facing the mai. road and open to the public. Who on earth would like to have a hotel room like that? I would rather have patio facing the beach. Whoever designed that wasn’t thinking of the occupants’ safety. We chose the hotel coz it’s by the beach, and when I booked it says, ocean view, but we were given “street view”. I won’t book this hotel again.

Lovely hotel. The location is excellent and right on the beach, it is walking distance to the pier, restaurants, etc. We stayed in the main building. Staff was very friendly at check in, and they lend you beach chairs and towels and buckets to take to the beach. It is not a ‘resort’ so there is no pool or anything, only a front patio area-which is nice and comfortable with great views- and there is a small cafe offering some food and drink options. We stayed in the main building and were comfortable. We will likely be back soon!
