Hotel was easy to find and had plenty of parking. We loved that it was pet friendly and had a balcony to sit out on. The location was perfect! Right on the bay with gorgeous sunset views, close to popular bars such as starboard, bottle & cork, etc. the hotel also had a pool, a dock, swinging hammock chairs, kayaks and paddle boards to rent and take out and a little garden off to the side with bird watching. When it comes to this hotel, is it as nice as the Hyatt or Hilton? No. But for an amazing price, amazing location, being pet friendly, the hotel amenities, and it was clean, it was well worth it! Hoping to come back again this summer!
