"Nice access to ocean front walking and lounging, nearby restaurant great to eat at. Did not understand the parking fee when not gated and sign then says park at own risk. Window screen coming off window, so wasn't fully at ease as solo traveler. Specifically ask for ocean view room instead of random selection."
