I enjoy that most if not all rooms have a full or partial ocean view. Everything down town is easy walking distance, and you can walk along the beach on a paved walkway to the pier. Direct beach access is also very appreciated, and makes it easy to go out and relax.

We felt unsafe
we didn’t feel safe having the patio open to the main road. There were people frantically knocking our door at 8pm then later during the night. We didn’t feel safe having the atio facing the mai. road and open to the public. Who on earth would like to have a hotel room like that? I would rather have patio facing the beach. Whoever designed that wasn’t thinking of the occupants’ safety. We chose the hotel coz it’s by the beach, and when I booked it says, ocean view, but we were given “street view”. I won’t book this hotel again.
