Good location. Rooms and hotel itself are clean and they work at it. My room was certainly nice. Breakfast is included and it is reasonably good. However, elevators are slow and one of them doesn't work correctly all the time. No free parking. Handle in my shower came off. Usb ports on bedside didn't work. So little things could be better and are annoying.

We stayed here the night before our cruise! Sarah at the front desk was GREAT. She was patient and overall pleasant to work with. Our room was nice. We have stayed here previously and always have a great experience.

Location, location, location. Hotel was very clean, staff wonderful and attentive. Spot is great for a few drinks after long walk on beach. My only cons would be the extra charge for parking and sleeper couch that was a little uncomfortable for sitting. Definitely booking again on next trip.

Nous avons pris une chambre avec vue sur la mer, avec un petit balcon, très appréciable. Elle était immense, propre et au calme.
Le petit déjeuner était très complet et varié et le personnel était incroyable.
L'hôtel est proche de nombreux restaurants et chacun y trouvera son compte.
Le parking à étages est situé derrière le bâtiment.

Okay so here’s my review of this place
So I knew about the parking not a huge deal but charging customers for parking at a hotel is a little wack and 15 a day is a bit steep
Anyways we check in and it’s 100$ deposit
And a hotel that’s only 140 a night 100$ really steep
My room door was really hard to open and close
And the ac made a really weird noise making it a bit hard to sleep
The room was pretty clean and housekeeping cleaned my room around 3:50 and did a decent job not taking anything
The parking garage is a bit of a walk to the front door so make sure to unload at the front
This is one of those places that didn’t piss me off enough to do zero star but didn’t do good enough for 5
Would I stay here again ?
Honest answer no just because of the garage and the 100$ deposit
