Nice, comfy hotel

The hotel was really nice. The location couldn't have been any better. The only reason for the good ratings instead of excellent was the hotel is a little older and shows a little wear. I would stay there again.

Will be going back!

We stayed here for 2 nights and it was amazing! They are remodeling the property so there weren’t ice machines and parking was messy, but they did waive the parking fees to compensate for it. The free breakfast was surprisingly decent. Quick walk to the beach, good food around within walking distance. Quiet slow paced area. It was exactly the get away we were looking for without breaking the bank :)

Hotel that is going thru a major renovation. Rooms bright and clean but as business traveler how are you supposed to get any work done with a trendy micro desk and a chair some designer came up with who has never sat at a hotel desk and done hours of computer work?
