The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was pretty empty at this time of year (mid week mid November) but hotel was fully functioning, staffed, and ready to assist us at all times. The room was great, the view wonderful. I look forward to come back in warmer weather.

I was overall happy with the hotel. The rooms were very nice and clean. The beach was nice and sandy. If you are older, and like little conveniences I will say that the toilets are nice and high. Our room had a spa tub and that was really nice. My only two complaints were. The blackout drapes were the only door cover, so if you wanted the drapes open you were completely exposed. And the breakfast was horrible, you get a box of either cereal, a frozen Jimmy Dean sandwich, hard boiled eggs, a small orange and a fruit drink. We didn't even order breakfast the second morning, we went out.

Clean rooms friendly staff, had the beach view it was perfectly located with beach front access. Limited conntinental breakfast. Choice of 4 items. However being limited they chose ideal options with healthy choices as well. Waking up to breakfast on the door per requested time was very convenient. 5 out of 5 star review.. would highly recommend.
