The hotel is relatively old and the equipment is average. The location is great, right by the pier. It's convenient to have everything to eat nearby. The restaurant on the first floor of the hotel is also okay. We didn't go out to eat because of heavy rain one day. We tried it and thought it was pretty good. There is a fee for parking. There is a good Japanese restaurant nearby that you can try.
