Rooms were clean a bit of sand on floors but it’s a beach town it’s to be expected. Staff were friendly. Parking lot is tight. My car got hit twice in the parking garage. Once someone backed into it and the second one was someone opening a door into mine bc it’s so tight.

What a great place that was close to the festival to go back and forth as needed. We were close to a ton of restaurants and ships, the location was everything. My son & hubby ate at the pool bar and said the food was good. The front desk workers were great, very friendly. We'd totally go back
