First, the staff was wonderful. Really makes the whole community look better to be greeted by and helped by friendly staff. I really felt welcome and cared for. The room was big. It had a full kitchen. My room was ocean front with a nice private patio. There was a nice big area for my dogs, and it was kept clean and well stocked with bags for their waste. Plenty of easy parking. Very nice pool, well maintained. The hotel is old, a relic, surrounded by more modern giants. But I think this smaller hotel is more welcoming and less impersonal. The bed was very comfortable with quality pillows and sheets. I’d not hesitate to recommend this hotel to my friends and I’ll certainly stay again, but longer next time. Also, I did see a lifeguard stand just in front of the hotel on the beach. I got just the rest I needed at the Vancouver. Thank you!
