The hotel's proximity to the beach was a definite plus for my trip. The staff were helpful, and the receptionist provided an upgrade upon check-in. On-site parking was available, though spaces were limited. The room decor had real character, setting it apart from standard hotel rooms.

It could only accommodate three people.
