The staff were great and very helpful and the location was good however the hotel needs updating and has cleanliness issues. The windows in our room were filthy which kind of takes away from the ocean view. We saw cockroaches in the hotel but not in our room luckily. The shower was terrible, the shower head either sprayed too far and soaked the bathroom or if you tilted it it would fall on your head. The grip mat in the bath was also dirty and there was a clothes line type thing in the shower that was moody/mildewy. The bathroom sink was also clogged and drained very slowly.

I loved the location and view from our room. The hotel gets a few things right but the rooms are needing a refresh. Feels old and grubby. Staff is lovely and attentive. Parking onsite is super inexpensive. Food at hotel restaurant is decent as well.
