The room was clean and comfortable, and the bathroom and kitchen appeared to be recently updated. The room was quiet and was close enough to the ocean that you could hear the waves.

Very friendly welcome. Room was clean and comfortable. There are no shops or eating places close to the hotel but if you have a car or don't mind walking along the beautiful shore line, that is not a problem.
