This is the second time we stayed in this hotel. we really like the location and the room is spacious and is pet friendly! We brought our two furry babies and we got the goodie’s bag from the hotel. The only problem was the people that stayed above us were very noisy so we have a hard time sleeping. This time we were staying at room 602 which is at lower level but all on all it was a nice hotel.

The rooms are clean and comfortable. The hotel is just across from a walking boardwalk and below is the beach! The views are amazing. The bed and pillows made it comfortable in order to get sleep and rest. No AC but it’s the coast so there’s a nice breeze throughout the day. Recommend you visit.
