This hotel was a luxurious and functional experience! From the moment I arrived, the staff was attentive to my needs and provided top-notch service. the room was spacious and included exclusive amenities like a jetted tub and cozy fireplace. the location was ideal, with easy beach access and a short walk into town.
The only minor issue was with the restaurant. While the service was good, the prices did not match the quality of the food.

us Frank 25 August 2022
We had a fun weekend near a popular outdoor venue, with great underground parking and lively restaurants and shopping all around us. The staff was pleasant and helpful, and we appreciated the two complementary details offered during our stay.
Our room left a lot to be desired. The layout was awkward, the lighting was dim, and the furniture felt outdated.
