Loved the location. Close to the beach and lots of options for restaurants, grocery, surf shops, cute little liquor store, and e-bike rentals—all walking distance. The breakfast was a great perk and the dining room had plenty of seating, but the food was just okay. Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. Also had a great time at the pool.

Upon arriving there were two ladies at the front desk, we got the one who was stoic and unwelcoming and said very few words while the other employee was smiling and graciously welcoming and offering information to another guest checking in. Started our stay off on a less-than-optimal note.

My family enjoyed the layout of the suite and the complimentary breakfast in the morning. The room was very clean, and the distance to get to the fitness room, lobby, parking garage was all relatively easy to access.

We did not like that the fitness center did not have more equipment for use. It gets busy at certain times of the day, and guests would have to wait for other people to finish their exercises on treadmills, elliptical & stationary bike.

Location was perfect to visit the downtown area beach and lots of close by stores and shops Service was pleasant from the very first moment with check in, the ladies that took care of breakfast area simply amazing. They greated each guest as they arrived. They kept the area filled and extremely clean. The entire hotel smelled so clean. The room was spacious and clean. Free covered parking, free Wi-Fi, and free hot breakfast!!! Will definitely stay again when in the area.

Stayed in a room facing the street and could hear all street noise each morning.

The room was beautiful and the bed was comfortable. It fit my families needs perfectly.

At check in i was told a different price so my credit card was declined. I had to use my debit card and it was much lower than the gentleman with the long hair said. So I could have used the card I wanted. It was disappointing because it put a stain on the trip a little.

The breakfast was fine. The location to the beach was convenient. I especially like the parking at the hotel.

$500 per night I thought was too much for the hotel. I have stayed and luxury hotels for that amount. This hotel was not Luxurious, but nice and clean. I did expect more for that amount of money.

The room was very comfortable and clean with ample space--very good value for the money, especially when compared to some of the other places in the area. We had a separate area to relax in, with a sofa and additional TV. We very much enjoyed our stay. It was only one night but super comfortable.

The breakfast was simple, nothing special, but was fine.

We had a girls road trip, so we needed something w 2 beds and a garage. Both requirements were perfectly met! The place is very cozy, beds are comfy, garage is gated, and a suite is pretty spacious. The pool was smaller than we expected, but still very much enjoyed it. Breakfast was from 6:30-10am and very delicious! Overall great stay!

Only small things: - There was no soap in the bathroom, so we had to request from the front desk, but they brought it very quick - We were hoping to find some water in the room, but there was only tap water

Clean, good location, breakfast was better than usual and safety for the car was covered 👍🏼

Need an air vent in the bathroom for shower steam. More soap needed for shower and sink, not just one.Back up tissue boxes. Food menus that deliver. Some bottles of water would have been nice.We were at a two day wrestling match for our son.
