Wonderful room setup
This 2-night stay was wonderful. We loved the comfort of the bed and the great size of the bathroom. The restaurant was really good as well. The location was a bit far to walk to State Street but just a quick 8-10 min Uber ride away.

It was a great experince! The only thing was that I called 3 times on Thursday to see if I could upgrade my room for a Sunday reservation. I was waiting on hold for 20 mins when the line cut, got a busy signal the 2nd time and left a voicemail-no one responded to me. We loved the resturant it was great food! So we went back the following day and we waited for 20 mins for a Waiter to take our order. Totally get it was on a monday but we just needed to get our day going. This is still a great place to go! Soo clean and right by the beach which is what we wanted!

I recommend a lounging area for guests other than the pool. There is one very small and outdated lobby, and there is one restaurant with a bar. There is nowhere else for guests to sit, relax, and enjoy the beautiful scenery and converse or read. For those in rooms facing the pool, while the terrace is large, the guests in the pool and restaurant are loud and staring right at you, zero guest privacy. Also the restaurant menu is too limited and specific to be the only dining option.

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.
