Nice hotel that’s clean with prompt room cleaning/refresh and friendly front staff. Bikes and beach chairs included. Only downside is 44$ a day parking fee. This might be optional but they don’t offer it that way. I didn’t fuss because I had some trips planned, a 7 y/oId and it was a rental. If you’re not going to be driving you can find street parking.
