"Location was great but there was no parking at 3:00pm when we arrived. We had to park about a minute walk down the street. The room had a cool view of the ocean but it smelled like the last person who stayed smoked. There was sand in the elevator, and in the hallway. The staff was nice and helpful. The hotel just looked tired. The sensor light by the door constantly was engaged in the middle of the night when one got up to use the restroom. There was no way to disable the light."
