This property was perfectly located near restaurants and activities. The beds were comfortable, staff friendly, and the perfect location on the way to the airport for a flight the next day.

Decent location, quite spacious rooms, large outside parking, and very friendly staff. Rooms had enough shelves and drawers to store clothing for a 10-day stay (which isn't obvious at many hotels).

The location is great, right on the beach. The hotel is very clean and the staff were also very nice. I would come here again. Breakfast was very good. The only thing I was missing at breakfast was pickles or sliced cheese but it may be that it is unusual in America. (ps. I am from Germany)

This was a great place to stay. Super close to the beach, easy to access. Everyone was so friendly. Our room was very clean. The pool tables and ping-pong table were nice to have when we were just hanging out at the hotel.
