After a first (lesser) impression upon arrival, you are surprised when you enter the room. Convenient with access code on the door. Everything is there, clean towels, nice shower, comfortable bed, plates/cutlery for when you want to eat something, coffee machine. Lovely terrace behind the room with 2 nice chairs.

This hotel was PERFECT. The view from the room (3rd level) is just incredible. Very clean, big and comfy beds, exceptional shower. Parking is very secure and at the property. The hotel also had a pool and complimentary popcorn, and coffee. It is located right across the beach and pier with many restaurants and cafes.

I truly enjoyed how spacious the room and bathroom were. The bed was very comfortable, the bedding soft and warm. I found it stylish, I kind of forgot I was in a hotel. The decoration was nice.

    Location is perfect by the beach- just cross one road and you are on the boardwalk! Parking inside a courtyard felt safe and was easy (15 USD). Our room faced the poolarea. The pool is quite small, but children liked it. Firepit at night was cool. Complementary coffee in the morning, iceshavings in the afternoon and popcorn at night was a nice surprise. Comfortable beds and a wonderful & big bathroom. The hotel has a laundryroom - big plus for those on a longer trip!

    We had a double queen overlooking the beach and ocean - it was an amazing view. Lovely hotel, fabulous pool area with direct access to the beach and volleyball courts. Right next to the pier and boardwalk. Décor of the room was fun and stayed with the surfing theme Valet parking was on $5 more than self parking - so why wouldn't you?

    The hotel is very clean and modern. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the breakfast was good. Our room was very spacious and clean with two queen beds and a sofa seating area. We enjoyed having a balcony too. The hotel is in a nice quiet location but only a short walk from all the fun. The hotel has secure parking. I would recommend this hotel.
