Nice hotel!
Pros:

The hotel and staff were lovely!

Cons:

The bed in room 209 was awful. So uncomfortable, it sank really low on one side like the bed was broken. This is my only complaint.

For a family no. By yourself maybe.
Pros:

The location to the beach and stores was good for us.

Cons:

It was dirty. Upon checking in we received dirty towels. Our floor had not been cleaned. The bathroom tub was dirty. We had to plunge our own toilet and unclog our sink. There was no overnight maintenance to help. Breakfast was blah.

The location is great within walking to harbor walk village for the many activities and boat tours but please upgrade th
Pros:

Great location near harbor village. Beautiful view of the ocean if you choose Harbor View.

Cons:

The building is old and in need of overdue repairs. Elevator, carpet need changing and water stain on ceiling. Carpet in hallways are dirty. The building and entrance need to be pressure washed and fresh coat of paint.

Great location and friendly staff
Pros:

The property is in a great location to everything! They provide a golf cart service, like Uber which was amazing!!! There is also a small little beach area for your fur babies! Last but not least, the staff was amazing and super friendly.

Cons:

Nothing major, wish the bar had more drink selection besides canned or draft beer.
