"This hotel is in a great location in the staff are always beyond helpful. I am a little disappointed that they got rid of their breakfast and the balconies are always covered in bird poop. I do understand that there are a lot of seagulls in the area, but I would expect them to be cleaned from time to time. We paid for a room with a balcony, and although they did try, we were unable to utilize our balcony because the screened door is broken the entire time we were there. That was a disappointment. I have stayed here multiple times and will continue coming back because the staff, location and overall quality of the hotel"
