Very nice place to visit. Had a washer and dryer so didn't have to do laundry after the trip! It has a small gym. It's within walking distance to beach, Whiskeys and park.

We came in June for my bday vacation. The hotel was nice. Our stay was everything I needed to relax. My only concern where the wires sticking out the AC unit next to our bed.
