Great location situated on the water. Fantastic food at reasonable prices. Clean rooms with good water pressure. All the staff I’ve met were warm and welcoming. Specifically Justin, Manny, Bobby and Mary. Others were amazing, but couldn’t remember their names. Would definitely stay here again.
Suite and fresh fruits overlooking the water.

Check in was easy and quick but they asked if I was parking there - I wasn’t and repeated it multiple times. They still charged me for it and never sent me a receipt despite me asking for one. The outside looks lovely but the rooms are old, the walls are very thin, and paying $300 a night for no elevator was not cool. You should only stay here if you can pay under $180/night.

Nice hotel. Clean and family friendly. The staff did a nice job at being welcoming and helpful. The pool is lovely and they have a movie playing at night at the pool so the kids can watch a movie while swimming. Central location close to many destinations. Really nice place. We would stay again.

We received early check in which was nice. However I expected a grand hotel instead it was a grand motel like resort property located at the Marina and not the ocean. There is a difference. You have to walk or uber or take the bus to get to the ocean. Not far though 5 - 20 minutes depending on your mode of transportation. There is a restaurant on property. You pay. Nice outdoor seating area, lighted at night. Pool and spa x 2. Every thing is grand we would return.
