Room was clean. Staff was exceptional and very helpful. Beach view was great. Balcony had the ocean view. Parking garage needed some work. Overall very nice stay with staff being an integral part of that. Room prices were a little high. Parking and beach amenities were not included. Bring extra cash.

We arrived an hour late, a little after 5. Check-in was 4. There were 2 or 3 other families waiting. Yes we had to wait till 6 for our room. Had to pay extra for parking, but did take off one day because our room wasn’t ready when we arrived. The room was clean and the morning breakfast was ok. The pool was clean. We had a great time it was just the first hour.

Right on the water. Good places to eat within walking distance. Pleasant staff! Bring your own beach chairs if you can so you don't have to rent them. Do the same with alcohol so you can reduce that budget as well! Clean, great place to relax!!!

Very nice property. The staff was great, the room was perfect. The only issue is the parking. There are minimal parking spots in the property parking garage so we had to park in the municipal lot. On the weekend the area was very crowded due to the great restaurants and atmosphere and we had to park two blocks from the property when we left for a couple of hours. Also, the price of parking is $100 a week.
