Check in was a breeze, because we already had booked and paid with ******* I only needed to provide my vehicle information, and a debit or credit card for incidentals but there was no hold placed on my card. Even though it was off season, and hotel was under staffed the room was very clean and available early. The garden view balcony was perfect and opened up right into the beach. Would definitely stay again. We were very pleasantly surprised.
