Adequate Stay Near the Beach

beach access convenient location helpful staff room service high noise sound level small bathroom non-smart tv

The hotel's location offers immediate beach access. The staff members I encountered were helpful . The room service from the downstairs restaurant was also quite convenient..

The noise level was significant due to the closeness to the main strip. The bathroom space was quite small. I also found that the television was not a smart TV, which limited entertainment options.
