Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, with its great beachfront location and proximity to dining options. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. However, the dining experience could have been better. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with some minor room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was truly a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious with a great view of the shore and a convenient kitchenette, but the pullout couch was quite uncomfortable. The bathroom was huge, and having a washer & dryer in the room was a bonus. However, I wished the couch bed was more comfortable.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The view of the shore was breathtaking, really top-notch. The room itself was cozy and clean, although the view of the dumpster was a bit of a downside. The service was outstanding, with attentive housekeepers making sure everything was perfect. The location couldn't be better, right by the beach and close to many fantastic restaurants. However, the dining options were not as varied as I would have liked, limiting the overall experience.
