The staff were very accommodating to my concerns. The part I didn’t like is they charge $40.00 a night to park which is ridiculous. It is an older hotel but is kept clean. The location is convenient but I think next time we will stay at newer hotel.

Decent Place That Fit the Bill

Location is nice, right on the walkway by the beach. It's a busy, bustling area, but the hotel was surprisingly quiet. No noise at all that we could hear from the beach at night. Lounging area is fairly nice, and provides a direct outlet to the beach walk. Pool is small but OK for cooling off. Room was small (ours was an oceanfront on the bottom floor), but neat and tidy. Parking is $40 per day.

Anniversary Trip

The location is the best for beach enjoyment and for transportation pickup. My wife is a discerning critic of bed condition and comfort, and she was pleased with the bed. World Famous restaurant is just a few steps away and it offers excellent food at reasonable prices. These are some of the reasons that we keep going back to this hotel year after year.
