From my first contact to my last, this place was incredible. We got into town early and ate and wanted to go to the beach, but needed to change. I called the hotel and spoke to Lisa and told her what was going on, she changed us to a room that was ready so we could come change and drop off our stuff, despite that it was before the 3PM check in.

Love that the room had extra living space. It had a living room/sitting area. Also had a table to eat on as well as a desk. Loved the step down into the sleeping area. The room had two tv’s and the couch was also a pull out bed. City view was amazing! Very clean hotel inside and out. Very affordable! Close to a lot of shops and restaurants! The walk to the beach wasn’t bad at all! 10/10! Will definitely be back!

Even though he could not make it out to the water, he could hear the waves rolling in and feel that ocean breeze. Everything we needed was on-site and the staff could not have been friendlier. I do want to give a Shout-Out to Patina Henry, who worked diligently to allow us to add another night to our trip. Her efforts did...
