The hotel offers a great location just across from the ocean, making it easy to enjoy beach walks and nearby restaurants. The rooms have a nice view and come with a cozy gas fireplace, adding to the charm. However, the dining experience was disappointing, with limited breakfast options that felt lackluster. While the staff was polite, they could be more accommodating.
