The room was clean, and the staff was very friendly. The reason I gave the score of 4 stars, was that the parking was a bit challenging, and the location of the hotel was not as close to the sand/ocean as I was expecting.

I chose this property based on all the other wonderful reviews and they were all correct. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The property is very well maintained and clean; I have very high standards and have no complaints. The location is close to so many restaurants and shops and a quick walk to Marine beach and the cove. We enjoyed our stay, will absolutely come back, and highly recommend to anyone.
