10/10 Excellent
"We had third floor with ocean view and it was spectacular! We had a beautiful view from the living area as well as our bed! The kitchen was perfect and we were able to do a load of laundry, which was very helpful on our extended rode trip! We ate breakfast and a couple of dinners in the bistro. The crab bisque was five star. I had grilled shrimp on a garden salad with the house basil vinaigrette and it was exceptional. Breakfast was very good too. The only down side was it was stormy and apparently that knocked out the elevators so we had to lug all our stuff down three flights of stairs on check out. PS: The waitress in the bistro was a sweetheart!"
