SpringHill Suites by Marriott Oceanside Beach

10/10 Excellent
"Conveniently located one block north of the beach. The staff were helpful, courteous, and friendly. Parking was close and plentiful. The rooms were clean & well appointed with updated fixtures. The facility is within walking distance of a myriad of shopping and dining venues. We used the pool/hot tub on the 6th floor which was thoroughly relaxing and not crowded."
