Great Accom 5 stars
Pros:

Location was perfect right in town on the parade, the room was very clean and tidy, the view of the parade was unmatched, the bed was huge and comfortable. The room was modern yet comfortable, We had an upstairs room I loved that their was an elevator especially for our luggage. We will definitely be booking at the Nautilus again. Would love to take our kids to stay there.
