The hotel is directly across the street from the ocean, we had a lovely view from our room. With the window open we could also hear the waves crashing onto the shore. Absolutely lovely, until random cars come whizzing by. Can't avoid the traffic! Other than the ocean view, the room is basic and average although i did find the bed very comfortable. I was most disappointed with the onsite restaurant - such a disappointing and generic menu! Such a shame. The staff were very friendly and helpful, check-in and out were great.
