Near the beaches, cruise piers and restaurants. Good breakfast spread. Value for money.

We enjoyed our stay. The hotel was very clean and staff were friendly. Beds were very comfortable. Mostly a place just to crash at night but overall we enjoyed our stay.

This is a clean and well run property. Location is great ... its one of many boutique hotels in the same area. You can walk to the beach in a few minutes and to downtown if you have a bit more commitment.

Very clean, good breakfast, liked the heated pool and hot tub

Clean with good breakfast

It’s very clean and the staffs are super nice.

Location was great, room decor and amenities were just ok.

Appreciated all the improvements in the renovation. Excellent breakfast. Excellent staff.

Great comfortable stay, wonderful staff!

Check was excellent GM allowed us to check in early, Jamaru who checked us in was very helpful with cold waters cookies and straightened everything out with a great smile. Place was clean everywhere. All associates had guest satisfaction as number one priority. Other chains could follow their guest service etiquette.

Needed place to stay for the night with the family as we traveled down the coast. Was thrown off by the outside look, being more of the motel look. However, it was a pleasant surprise on the inside and the staff was amazing.

Loved the location because of how close the beach, pier, restaraunts, etc. didnt have to drive at all. place was very clean. Only “problem” was that the walls were very thin so you can hear everyone outside. Overall a great stay with excellent location

Good value.

Nothing fancy but comfortable and clean
