The breakfast buffet was a wonderful addition to our stay. It was nice knowing that you had a delicious meal waiting for you once you woke up and were ready to take on the day. The servers were super attentive and very kind. I enjoy seeing employees with smiles on their faces and looking like they are glad you are there.

Great stay. Only down fall we were right next to 6 ac units and over the inside pool. Horrible view. Couldn’t even hear the ocean and unfortunately they were fully booked that night but gave all 3 of us a voucher for the breakfast buffet the next day so that was nice. Next time I’ll specifically ask for another room right when I get there. Avoid room 302!!!

This was a great experience. It was nice to be right on the beach, and able to move between the book and the beach. Also, was nice to be able to use the pool at the neighboring Hilton hotel to switch things up. Only negative is the construction that is going on with the bridge, but obviously out of the hotels’ control.
