This was an extremely last-minute trip to get away and relax before my upcoming back surgery. We chose Hilton Garden Inn because it offered a beachfront balcony AND it was pet-friendly. It did not disappoint! My mobility issues made walking to the beach extremely difficult, but being able to sit on the balcony & see/hear the surf & watching dolpins play made it alright! Plus, the hotel has a lazy river pool that made it even better!! The facility is a bit dated, but it was clean & the staff were all very friendly and helpful. Our pups are paper-trained so they only went down to the pet potty area a couple of times, but it was clean & sufficient. A little small, but still plenty of room to get the job done. Plenty of parking, but to park in the covered garage area is first come-first served. The beach adjacent to the hotel offered chairs & umbrellas (again, first come-first served) and the beach was very clean with pristine white sand. The water was a gorgeous blue-green & the gulls, pelicans & dolphins were so fun to watch. We will definitely be coming back as soon as we're able!
