Perfect! Polite and clean!

Wow!! I’m super picky and I need clean and friendly people around me to feel safe and comfortable. This hotel has it all. We arrived tired at 10pm. My son left his suitcase outside of the room! In the morning I called the front desk and they had saved it behind the desk. Everyone was so kind and polite. Smiles and greetings every turn. I love this place. The room was spectacular, clean, full kitchen, and beautiful view. We will be back for sure. This is the biggest bang for your buck. The breakfast was also great

Extremely clean, which is priority number 1. Very happy with how well kept it is. Only disappointing thing is that there is a coin operated laundromat there, no credit cards accepted, yet there is not a change machine, so you have to go find and bring your own change. Highly recommended. Note..got an ocean view room... only about a third of the view is of the ocean from room I had (411), rest is blocked by another hotel.

A good hotel (Just don’t pay extra for a balcony view of the ocean Sooo not worth it!) I feel expedia customers always get put the furthest away as it was a very long walk just to the lifts. The outside pool was nice just hardly ever gets sunlight so it can be pretty cool. The room was excellent clean and the location was great to the beach and also only a few minutes to the town centre. Breakfast was great too!
