The hotel is located a half block from the beachfront with many restaurants and shops. The staff was extremely helpful and arranging parking and getting the baggage to the hotel. There is a lovely rooftop terrace, which is especially nice because they serve breakfast there. Great view Patricia, the receptionist, was very helpful and a great ambassador for the Hotel.
