Balanced stay at bayside hotel

private beachfriendly staffbayside locationburnt-out lightbroken machineoutdoor patio

I liked the bayside location. The hotel included a pleasant private beach with comfortable beds. The staff members were friendly and helpful to me. Airstream breakfast was also a great experience.

I was not happy the outside had only one working light. The other light bulb was burnt out. It made enjoying the patio at night difficult. The drink vending machines were mostly out of order. This was a real problem.
