"Great spot just across the street from the beach. Great breakfast setup and love they do the complimentary evening reception. Staff was lovely. My only suggestion for improvement is that furniture in the dining area and outside needs updated. Many tables and chairs had scratches and seemed to be 20+ years old. Everything was clean."
