Christian at the front desk and the breakfast team were great! Room was clean but unfortunately had a musty smell, but perhaps that comes with being so close to the ocean.

My check in experience was a bit problematic. We stayed in room 218. The balcony view was the trash which was open so it had a bad smell. The room was pretty nice. The bed was comfortable.

It was a nice stay, we just book last minute to be near the wedding venue, it’s affordable that night, they serve free bfast but we were so tired to get up. Parking was full that night but luckily 1 slot left for us. We slept good and everything was good.

The rooms were beautiful and clean. My kids loved the pool. It is conveniently located near the gorgeous waterfront. In the park across the street, we noticed several individuals experiencing homelessness; however, we did not feel unsafe. It was also inconvenient that the front desk and lobby were not open 24 hours a day.

Our room looks nice but was smelly. We can’t figure out if it was from the carpet or the exhaust from the toilet. It was an unpleasant smell and the AC wasn’t working well.
