Nice location, good breakfast, pleasant staff, good beach
Pros:

Good location, nice beach, a few chairs & loungers available, towels and beach needs right there

Cons:

A bit run down, my room looked out on to an odd flat asphalt area like a flat roof. The big windows on the 3rd floor could see in my room

Pros:

Staff was on top of the stocking and cleaning in the breakfast room. Hallways were clean and quiet, the beach front was clean and the chairs were clean and dry, Appreciated the early check in. Plenty of parking for all guests.

Cons:

There could have been more seating in the breakfast area. More information on parking and getting around downtown area would have been helpful. For example, what is within walking distance, what requires parking, is there a shuttle or trolly in the area...

We enjoyed ourselves very much
Pros:

The staff was friendly and helpful. The room ( we got an upgrade at no charge) was very nice. The pool was as clean as any pool I've ever seen. The hot tub was hot and had very good jets.The breakfast turned out to be very good. It right on the beach, what more could you ask for?

Cons:

Very very minor. The shower had no place to set soap or shampoo down . The fan in the bathroom must have been broken
