Nice location with reserved parking. Friendly front desk person who was anxious to help. Requested daily housekeeping services, but bed was not made (which was odd).

Disliked: Cleanliness
The beach was right across the street, and the room was nicely furnished and generally quiet except for the noise from people above us. The towels were not changed once during our 4-day stay -- we later assumed we were perhaps required to request this, though we do not recall seeing anything in the room stating this as a policy. We were asked to pay a charge for the parking even though it was not listed as an extra charge on the hotels.com website. The front desk manager waived the parking charge because of the confusing information.

The location is excellent, the staff is friendly and attentive…we really couldn’t have imagined a better experience for the money. Waking up and having a 20 second walk to the shore was amazing. We will be back!
Our view each morning.
