the location and cleanliness of the place is great. The hotel is pet friendly, but they only accept a handful of pets , so make sure to let them know that you are bringing a pet right after you book the room.

I liked that it was within walking distance of the shops and restaurants. We did pay for an ocean view room, you had to go out on the patio to see a partial bay view. You couldn’t see the ocean from our room.
