I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were always clean, but they felt a bit too small when the crowd arrived. I appreciated having a lot of choices for their grab and go breakfast, although the room sometimes got too hot to sleep comfortably.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were spacious, but could use some improvement in terms of cleanliness and comfort. The service was exceptional, with incredibly helpful and friendly staff. The location was ideal, offering privacy while still being close to attractions. The dining experience was a bit hit or miss, with some great options but also room for improvement. The facilities were decent, providing basic amenities for a comfortable stay.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The oceanfront room with the Keurig coffee maker was just fantastic, but being on the street side could be a bit noisy. The location is amazing, just steps away from the beach, and within a short drive to great attractions. The dining options were a hit or miss, with some dishes being delicious and others not up to par.
Rooms

My room was oceanfront and had a convenient Keurig coffee maker. The only downside was that it faced the street in front, which could get a bit noisy.
