Lovely hotel with great staff

We stayed here during Valentine’s Day weekend. It’s a lovely little Spanish style hotel. There was a storm and the power went out in the entire city. The hotel went door to door giving out glow sticks and flash lights and was very helpful in answering our questions in where we could drive to find the nearest city with power for dinner.

We were looking forward to stay here near the beach until we arrived and there was a park next to the property which had around 50 homeless people hanging out. Since it was the same day they would not refund our money. We choose to stay somewhere less that was safer.
