The room was nice with a big jetted tub and a tv in the bathroom. The breakfast wasn’t great, though. A big plus was free charging of the Tesla we rented but they did charge $15 per day to park.

Walking distance to beach and local restaurants

Overall good experience with the hotel. The front desk was porfessional. Two things that could have been better. The description of the pool says it is heated but it was not a heated pool. My other comment is on thr breakfast. It is always nice to have a free breakfast but some of the items for breakfast were bland. The scrambled eggs too watery. The texture didnt feel like eggs. There could have been more fruit. The location of the hotel was good. Overall good experience
