The location was perfect close to the beach, great location. The staff was 5 stars, the common room was inviting with coffee, games and generous seating. The rooms were clean, the bed very comfortable. The only downside was how small the room were. I requested a room with a patio and glad I did as we brought our two dogs, the patio was wonderful, nice size and chairs
