My wife and I were just there three weeks a go for two nights and really enjoyed it. It was a great break between Venice and Florence and we enjoyed a day on the beach. I definitely echo the comments on the beach. It is the widest sand beach either of us had ever seen.
Our room was on the top floor and had a great view and very large balcony. Staff at the front desk were helpful. Only negative was the driving directions on the hotel website - these need improving.
If you are going to Italy and want to go somewhere most North Americans have never heard of check it out! It seems popular with Europeans.

Comments: We simply did an overnight here in transit between the airport in Pisa (from our jaunt to Malta) and Malcesine (Lago di Garda) but were still given an upgraded room upon our request before arrival. The hotel was pleasant and very beachy, the tilework and decorations were very oceanic. The price for our room could not be beat (85 Euros) and even included the breakfast buffet, which was good for what it offered. A large enough spread and the hotel was not extremely busy, that it was a nice relaxing experience for us.
The beach in Rimini is great, SO much sand. And the water is warm like the Gulf of Mexico. Our balcony and subsequent view made it pleasant to just sit in the room and relax with the breeze. The shower was a little odd, it was either scalding hot, or ice cold, and it was like this for a couple of different showers at different times of the day. At least the bathroom had Hermes toiletries! For the price, you really can't beat the LM and what it offers.
Cheers,
