Staff was very courteous and gave great pointers during our weekend stay, it felt like a mom & pop run business where customer satisfaction was always the aim. Mike was great and we'll definitely stay there again due to the prime location and convenience to the shopping, dining and the beach. There was an issue where we mistakenly double-booked and Mike was so understanding and gave us a break. Most other places would've just gave us the standard lip service but Mike definitely worked with us to where both parties were satisfied. Great Customer Service!! We'll definitely be staying there again.

The staff was helpful/nice. The location was perfect just a block or two off of the busy area. Shopping, restaurants great. Beach 10-15 walk, but walkable. There dog friendly , and places to walk the dog are all around. The price was good for our stay. We were down stairs, so a little noise with the stairs up and down, but it got quiet after 9 pm. All and all was fine. Enjoyable........
