Super cute, family friendly and right by the water!! This hotel exceeded our expectations. Gave a good homey vibe and the morning/afternoon staff was super friendly and helpful with all our questions. Night staff was a little sketchy and missing a lot of the time and tried to tell us kids couldn’t be in the pool after 8:30. But overall it was a nice visit and clean place to stay.

Great Location. Less than two (2) blocks from the pier where all the site seeing starts. Breakfast is traditional waffles, baggels, coffee, O.J.etc... Pool and jacuzzi available. Room was good size and clean. Need minor facelift. I would stay there again.
