This was a good value. It was convenient to the beach and was in a good location to find some dining options. They also had bikes on-site that could be rented for a low fee. Desk staff were very kind and helpful. Thanks for a nice weekend getaway!

It was a home away from home. The staff was so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We were the guest of the day which started it off as a fun experience as soon as we received the text hours before check-in. The staff, location, and amenities made this an excellent vacation and we cannot wait to return!!

Peace and quiet are words that doesn’t describe this place. Construction started right next door to the hotel, without any warning at 0600, neither any advisory note via email or from
Front desk that would has been considerate. I left sleep deprived and irritated.

I loved the Jacuzzi and the pool and the easy access to the beach. Not so crazy about the $15 to park.
It was very cool that they gave us beach supplies for free.
