I had a really nice stay at this hotel. The location is fantastic, close to the beach and plenty of restaurants. The rooms were clean with a lovely view of the beach and pool. The staff was friendly, and I appreciated the thoughtful touches they provided for our anniversary. However, the breakfast options were a bit limited and could use some variety. Overall, it felt like decent value for the price, although I would have preferred better dining options.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was perfect, right across from the beach, my room was not as clean as I had hoped, and the service left much to be desired. The dining options were quite limited, especially due to COVID, but the pool area was great. Overall, I don't think I would return based on my experience.

I had a pleasant stay overall, with the hotel being in a great location right on the beach and close to several restaurants. My room was comfortable, but it could use some updates as it didn’t look as nice as the pictures promised, and the TV was outdated. The staff was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, making my experience enjoyable. On the downside, the dining options were not up to par, and the balcony was quite small. Pricing felt reasonable for what I received, though there were a few add-on costs.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location is fantastic, right across from the beach, and the staff was incredibly friendly, the rooms were a letdown as they were dirty and too noisy near the pool and bar. The pool area itself was nice, but overall, I felt there could be improvements, especially considering the price I paid for the stay.

The hotel has an excellent location, right across from the beach, and it's nice to have two restaurants on-site. The atmosphere was lovely, but the rooms could use a refresh since they felt a bit like a dorm room. Service was a mixed bag; while some staff were friendly and accommodating, one staff member's approach left much to be desired. Overall, it’s a decent choice but with room for improvement on several fronts.

Rooms

The rooms could definitely use a refresh, and I did find them to be quite noisy due to the road noise from Seawall Blvd. However, my wife really loves staying here, so it does have its charm.
