Awesome location right across the street with at least 4dining options and a cafe nearby. It's all about location, location, location with this place! It's modern, hip, and offers bikes. Book a room before it sells out!

This place is awesome. Staff is friendly and cool. Walking distance to the beach and one of the better breakfast diners I have ever been to (Crappy's). 2 blocks from the beach. Can't do better for the fare.
