The room is small, the facilities are general, and breakfast is not provided. There are still quite a lot of places to eat around, there are supermarket pharmacies. The overall price is high, and the parking fee is $35 a night.

The parking at $40 a night plus tax is too high, but other than that it was a lovely stay. Pool and hot tub were great and a nice relaxing atmosphere by the fires they light at night.

Guest UserThe location is fantastic, right by the beach with beautiful scenery, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. The hotel breakfast is quite good for a US hotel, and the service is very friendly. It was a great experience. My child was very happy to ride a bicycle around in the morning! 🥳
