Wonderful stay, would definitely book again!
Pros:

Loved the room, comfy bed, had all the amenities needed. Hotel contacted me before stay to be sure we didn't mind that the room would be ok since they would be having an event with music during the evening/night. When we arrived they provided ear plugs and cupcakes with apologies. The music did not bother us at all, however for some people it might. Location of hotel was wonderful, right across from beach!

Cons:

TV was difficult to navigate even with streaming Netflix, had to unplug TV then plug back in to get it to work.
Parking is on street and can be difficult to find a spot close to hotel if on a weekend.
