Pros: Location was great. Just a few steps from the beach. Own parking lot. Cons: 1. NO elevator. You have to carry your luggage upstairs. 2. NO tissues. 3. Very thin walls; you can hear everything. On the first night the room next to us was very noisy with a dad instigating chaos in his children. I had to call the front desk TWICE. When I called the front desk the second time(I gave it a good 16 min) the guy said I SAID I WAS BUSY. Wow 4. Not enough outlets. 5. The toilet seat to too close to the sink; you'll slam your shoulder.

Location, Gracious service and Comfy

During our stay they we had to make several trips to the office for those little extras, and they were always gracious and had plenty. The view was amazing sitting in the middle of hotel and the location with free parking made it ideal. We walked to beach and all the local restaurants which were fantastic. Felt like home. The beds and pillows were super comfy. Will recommend!

I love how close to the beach, the shops and restaurants are to the hotel. The service was amazing. I will make sure to reserve a bottom floor when I visit next time. Climbing stairs to the 3rd floor wasnt fun but I had help so it made it bearable. No elevator. It was fun seeing everyones dogs. Its dog friendly. I will definitely stay again. Thank the staff for being amazingly.
