decent stay, few issues

good location tasty food chipping paint dated rooms

the hotel location is good for the beach. it's just a quick walk. hot breakfast food was tasty, i found it filling.

the room had chipping paint. i saw a cobweb on the ceiling, i felt the rooms where a bit dated, like a town b&b, not a luxury beachside resort.

hot meals attentive staff amazing parking

The breakfast offered many options and hot meals were available at no extra cost. Staff members were very attentive during breakfast. I also appreciated the team taking time to assist with directions to parking and helping navigate the hotel, a major plus with disabilities. This service really does change the whole experience.
