We enjoyed our stay so much. The staff were all so nice and friendly. We used the gym a few time which was nice to have. It was close to the beach and the shops so didn’t have to drive far at all. The breakfast we had every morning was fantastic! The only complaint I have was that the bed my daughter slept in squeaked every time she moved. Definitely need a new bed in that room.

I really enjoyed my stay here while visiting the beach. The location was convenient, room was clean and smelled fresh. The staff was nice by welcoming us each time we left and came back. Upon arrival, we were provided with a visitor's guide for access to local attractions. The only negative was the when using the shower, almost everything would become damp from the steam. A vent would be take of this though. Overall, great stay !!

The hotel itself is in a great spot but due to road construction it was very hard to get in and out bc of the backed up traffic. The hotel room was outdated and needed some attention to some areas that were broken but overall a great place to stay. We were down for a ball tournament and it’s centrally located to everything. The breakfast bar was prob the best we have had at a hotel! The front desk staff were super nice and helpful! We would stay there again when we go for another tournament.
