Comfortable Stay Near the Beach

I liked the hotel location. It was close to the beach and the pier (both easily accessible on foot). There are restaurants nearby. I also appreciated the gated access to the rooms and parking. It. The room was modern, and the bathroom featured a good shower.
The check-in process was a bit slow, due to a card issue.

The location offered proximity to the beach! I booked the King Room Ocean View. It gave a large window with a full view of the ocean. So great. The air conditioning worked very well. The room was spacious and clean. It was decorated nicely.
The electricity placement made turning off lights a bit tricky.
