"Great place to stay. Had no complaints about the room, the only issue I had was the parking but also it was a busy weekend. Other than that it was great. Will be returning next year and staying again. Also the restaurant tied to the hotel was awesome! 💯"

"The staff was polite, even when having booking issues, she remained calm. Room was clean and spacious. Parking was limited but we were able to park in front of our room. Walking distance to the beach and eateries. Had an amazing Italian restaurant just down the street and breakfast burritos across the street. All in all it was a good stay."
