We stayed on the second floor and the view was great. The pool did have limited hours but it depended on who was at the front desk--one lady was nice enough to extend the hours because the ocean water was 52 degrees and frigid! It was nice to be able to swim in the pool in the evenings, and it... more

Well, we didn't meet the dreaded crotchety front desk clerk. The staff members we did meet were very pleasant. Yes, the towels are thin, but they're clean, as was the efficiency we stayed in.
