The property is conveniently located with front beach access, which was a huge plus for us. The staff was very nice and always willing to accommodate you, especially the valet parking guys (free valet). The facilities were clean, although we did notice that the room needed some rehab, especially the carpet, which looked a little outdated. One detail was that the restaurant got very busy during breakfast, and it felt like they did not have enough staff to serve everyone. However, the food was really good, especially the steak and eggs option, which we enjoyed very much. In general, we had a great time and enjoyed our stay.
