Fabulous stay. Love the room, comfy nice bedding, and big bathroom with turkish towels. All the staff was wonderful. Shoutout to the tall blonde valet guy. He was great. I reserved a bike and tried to ride it but Im too short. But he took photos of me in front of the hotel with the bike and he was so sweet. The location was excellent. Right on the bay and within steps to the beach. I love all the little extras. A cooler, tote bag, frisbee, beach towels, umbrellas, and rental bikes all included. I will stay here anytime Im back in town.

Disappointed

Lobby's floor was cracked/ old and dirty, as well as carpet. The room chairs had a very dirty covers, wanted to take off but chair was worse, with stains. Didn't feel comfortable sleeping in the bed. Room was small, t.v was very small. No Parking available inside site. Parked on street. I was very disappointed.

A great spot for smaller families looking for a spot near the beach. Beach Towel, umbrella, chair, and sand/surf toys were available for a free check out. That boogie board really made my beach trip memorable! The staff were all super helpful and accommodating. I loved staying here and could not recommend it more.
