Great location and, while simple, very nice accommodation. The best part is walking distance to many great restaurants and beaches. Thanks to the front desk staff I was upgraded to an ocean view room on the 5th floor, which was beautiful. I hope to return again soon to this hotel on my next visit.

This hotel is centrally located to lots of great shops and restaurants. The ocean view is decent but an bitobstructed by buildings at the water front. The hotel itself is well priced for what it is, as it’s a bit outdated and definitely could use a carpet upgrade. Staff was very friendly and our room was immaculate. I would stay here again at no more than a $300 nightly rate.
