The only place to grab a bite is Chad’s which is about 15 mins walk. And it’s an ok establishment. The other place is the Toma restaurant which is always packed and you need a reservation.

Not too bad.

Breakfast is not what it use to be here. Quality in breakfast has gone down a bit. The cookies during the day are a nice touch and the entire staff is pleasant. The beds are a little hard and uncomfortable and the price does not necessarily reflect the expectations that are not completely met.

Great room and conveniently located just a block from the beach. Good breakfast, cute decor. My only complaint was they didn't let 2 cars park and street parking is all permit, so that was a huge issue. It didn't say that when booking the room.
