Pros:

Breakfast was good. The omelet was really good. I wish he would not stop at 8:20, because we missed the second time. Yogurt and fruit was really nice. The egg, sausage and cheese croissants were very good!

Cons:

For breakfast like whole wheat toast and perked decaf coffee.
I wish there were muffins instead of bagels.
The freezer on the refrigerator in our room was filled with built up ice.. It needed defrosting to be able to use it.

Pros:

It was amazing. It’s just a short walk to the ocean. The hotel is comfortable and convenient. It’s perfect for families with children. The location is excellent, and there are stores nearby.

Cons:

While we were living there, we had problems with the Wi-Fi. Sometimes it worked, and sometimes it didn’t. The hotel fixed it the day before we left. The breakfast could be more varied.

We enjoyed our stay, and the staff was friendly and helpful.
Pros:

We liked that they offered free breakfast; they had a special almost every morning. We liked that it was a short walk to the beach. They also had a pool.

Cons:

There is no kitchen to make meals.
