10/10 Exceptional! (1 review)
Highly, highly recommend!This place was better than I ever could’ve imagined. It was a massive space for two people definitely could’ve had a lot more. It was right on the train track so that was easy to navigate, it was a 10 minute walk to the beach, which was nice. The staff was incredible and welcoming us, and holding our bags until check-in as we arrived early. Make sure to use their shuttle service from the airport by making a reservation. an extra added bonus… there was a used clothing and toy store next-door. Along with another beautiful restaurant two doors down I felt like I could’ve stayed in this neighborhood for a long time again highly recommend!!! having the washer was a huge benefit as well
