Our stay was mostly pleasant. When we checked in, we were given a room with a full bed even though we booked a queen. We were told the bed was a queen size bed but it definitely was not, since we have one at home. The first staff member didn’t help us with the issue but the second did and moved our room to another with the proper sized bed. It wouldn’t have been a big deal except my boyfriend is very tall so it would have been uncomfortable sleeping in a small bed all weekend! After our room was moved, the stay was great except for a whistling sound shower that seemed to get worse throughout the stay, but ended up bearable do we didn’t say anything to staff. Overall great location and facilities! Free parking is a plus and it’s very walkable.

The location was perfect … a block from the beach and easy walk to restaurants and pier. It’s was quiet and clean on the property. Breakfast was good and fresh squeezed OJ was a pleasant surprise. Only complaint was that the eating area was way too small. Other than that I would stay there again for sure.

The breakfast offered was pretty bad. I went to go for one of the oranges (they were spoiled) since the meat and eggs seemed to have that freshly thawed out taste- Pool was 84 degrees so we couldnt get in..it'd be nice if they had heated it more since im sure price of "pool" is reflected in taxes/stay-it'd be nice to be able to use it. Aside from that-it was perfect spur of the moment place to stay.

My 2nd time staying here after a previous good experience. Staff i interacted with at front desk were all helpful. Breakfast was simple but nice, rooms clean (although mine could have used some artwork) and well equipped. Off street parking outside my room also a plus. Would recommend
