7.8/10 Good! (1,024 reviews)
Staff was professional, quick and informative. Room was clean, beds comfortable. View from room was cute, continental breakfast. Parking was sufficient considering we stayed during Jeep week. Close to many restaurants, shops and the aquarium. 10 or so minute walk to all amenities. Very pleased with the experience. Would book again.

Rooftop restaurant is terrible food. Made us physically sick. Breakfast was cold and both husband and l got physically sick. The shower water pressure was the worst pressure. A garden hose would have been better and water took 15 minutes just to heat up. The people that work there are friendly though. The rooms are very clean and no carpet is a plus.
