The facility was clean and in a great location. We were able to walk to the museum and beach. The breakfast was very good.

The facility was clean and in a great location. We were able to walk to the museum and beach. The breakfast was very good.

Parking. We had a roof rack on our car and we were unable to get into the underground parking due to hight. When we came in one evening all the outside parking was taken. That created a huge problem for us. It would be nice if there were signs saying ‘cars park underground’ which would leave some outdoor parking spaces for higher vehicles.

The location was wonderful and included park. Nice and quiet.

My bathroom had a strong smell of urine. Not sure if this was a toilet issue or the floor tiles that didn’t look great.
