Other than one of the front entrance doors and one of the elevators being broken it was a good stay. The staff on the restaurant and bar are amazing. We had lots of laughs with them

We had a great time here! Great location close walk to the beach. Would love to stay again and hopefully come back. Tons of room for a big group of people like we had. Only wish the host was a bit more responsive and some better dusting. But overall amazing stay and would highly recommend

We found a great restaurant the "Boro" a local mom and pop. The food was off the hook good. You can eat inside or out. There are several little shops up and down this street and they had a free outside concert the night we were visiting. Very nice
