Nice hotel in a perfect location!
Very nice hotel across from the beach. Walking distance to restaurants! Great ambiance, friendly and attentive staff, large rooms with large bathrooms. Our deluxe king patio had a view of a back street that was very quiet and private. We preferred this to a pool view. The bed was comfortable. Only down side was no coffee maker in the room so we brought our own. Also no body wash that wasn't a big deal.

Nice place but missed small details.
My husband and I stayed here after our courthouse wedding ceremony. The room was big and we had booked an ocean view which was nice, but the hotel had missed that it was our wedding day. Other places I or any of my friends had stayed at would make sure to do something a little extra for such a special occasion but all in all a good stay!

Beautiful property, will definitely go back. The location is right across the street from the beach, nice rooms and pool. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is bc I told them it was our anniversary when I booked and it was never acknowledged at the hotel.
