The Hotel building is very nice, however it needs updating ( Paint, carpets, etc ) Booking with expedia gets me less desirable rooms or locations!! My room was the# 19, the last one on the back of the building with the view of the alley and next door parking lot !! Front desk told me it was the last one available and that the hotel was all booked !! # 18 was empty !!

Great customer service. They made a last minute getaway special and they offered great personalized service. Their cocktail hour was a pleasant break in the day. Highly recommend taking advantage of their free bike rental especially being so close to the beach and the pier. The rooms are overall clean and very spacious. Loved our stay and will be back again. The pool and jacuzzi were in great condition and they offer a nice gym on site too. Just wish the jacuzzi was a tad bigger (only fits 6) but overeall great getaway.

We loved our 2-night stay. The rooms are very large for the price you pay. You are only a few minutes walk from a lot of great restaurants, as well as the beach. We also enjoyed using the hot tub.

The property is clean and well kept. The staff members were very friendly and helpful. The pool is heated. We took advantage of the jacuzzi. We enjoyed the free happy hour and the free breakfast.

Clean rooms and bathroom, in wall key safe, quiet place, other than no water gutter pipes to move the water thru the pipes, heavy rain all u hear is a waterfall from the gutters, electric car charger, one car at a time. Breakfast very limited. Walking distance to wharf, downtown about 15 minute walk. If u want quiet, this place is it.
