The service was absolutely perfect, everyone was kind, helpful, and accommodating. I loved the little things that the front did to make our stay just that much more special (I won’t spoil the sweet surprises). I wish there was a pool and or a little spa, but otherwise I am beyond impressed.

Hotel has a modern look, clean room and very friendly staff. Breakfast basket delivered each morning with coffee, orange juice, Brut and pastries adds more charm and comfort. watching the ocean from well decorated hotel lobby is very enjoyable. Room can be a bit bigger for 3 people, but we managed it.
