The hotel was lovely and in a great location. We were within walking distance to the Pier, beach and restaurants. The parking was a little difficult due to it being on street parking.

A beautiful property with a short walk to the beach. It was extremely clean and very quiet, we almost felt like we had the place to ourselves. Once we got there, we parked our car and used scooters or walked to everywhere we went.

The unit is like a small apartment with a kitchen and walk in closet, but the bathroom is a bit small. Overall a great stay, location is great, staff very friendly, room was cozy, homely and had plenty of sunlight. The only drawbacks are that there is no room service and parking is awful around that area.

As someone who travels 30 weeks a year for work, I can honestly say this was the best experience I have had in years. Easy check in, amazing property and room, location 10/10. I want to move in here. Perfect for work or vacation. Fast internet, full kitchen, a block from the beach, 3 blocks to Promenade. Can’t say enough good things.
