Would definitely consider staying here for future trips
Pros:

It was in a great location. Steps from the boardwalk and beach. Had a little cafe right on property. Hotel staff was very friendly. Lots of other restaurants and shops very close.

Cons:

When you first enter the room it was kind of tight because you walked in the kitchen and bathroom was right there. Other than that it’s was nice.
