Stayed at The Place during Sandcastle Festival. Great location to catch the shuttle to the beach where the castles were being built. Only negative was the lousy breakfast. For $250 per night I expect something hot other than the coffee. The coffee was pretty bad, too.

For the Port A Sandfest, best Place to stay as the shuttles to the Sandfest leave from the public parking at the Marina across the street. Excellent location to all areas of the island.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. There is limited parking and construction so workers are parked there as well. The back door to the hotel did not work with key access which was close to the room. After construction I am sure everything in the hotel will be better.

Overall a good experience

It was a great trip. Great location across the street from the Park. Can get around the island and beach easily from the hotel. The rooms were great! The couple of things I was not real comfortable with were the set up of room doors to the lobby is not private enough for me and you can hear everything going on in other rooms. Overall a good experience.
