Wow! A great property with excellent service in a wonderful location! Checking in and out was extremely easy, and our room was ready early. The room had a nice balcony facing the water and the walk-in shower was large with good pressure and temperature control. It had so many good restaurants onsite or nearby. And the breakfast was exceptional, the best I’ve had in a hotel. Definitely include it when booking the room of when you check in.

The only thing I didn’t like about the place was the bed. The mattress was super soft, and all the pillows were too fluffy. And guess what? The bed had wheels! It was like a little rollercoaster.

The property is spotlessly clean, the staff are lovely and rooms are spacious. It’s not the same standard as others I have stayed at but it is still a great hotel and best in the area by far.
