"The room was exceptionally clean! Our room faced the street, and the end of the train turn around. Although we were facing the street, the noise was minimal. A few steps to the right of the hotel there is a coffee shop with excellent coffee/pastries (very clean). It is facing the beach. The atmosphere is great. To the left of the hotel, there is Judy's restaurant. Great tacos!! Very tasty. We walked on the beach and bike/ped. area and felt very safe. Will definitely book hotel again in the future. Parking is included, which was great!!"
