Disliked: Cleanliness
Great location across from the bay with a public park for beach access, hotel has a pool but limited hours of operation closing at 8. Rooms were good for family of 5 but beds were not comfortable and the floors were filthy. Otherwise a decent place, but we will go elsewhere for our next visit.
