Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
At check in all staff were friendly and helpful. They walked me over to my room. Everything was clean and the area was quiet. No loud noise so it was very peaceful the 2 nights that I was there. I love how every night you can order pizza or charcuterie boards and enjoy the fire in the seating area. Breakfast was nice. I like how everything was laid out and prepped. You get a lot of healthy options. You can take the food to your room or sit outside and enjoy your breakfast. The hotel was close to everything. I did some shopping and also walked down to the beach. There was enough parking and fairly safe. I appreciate the staff for helping me load up my car when I checked out. Thank you Stilwell for making my solo trip memorable!
