"We we placed at this hotel very last minute by Expedia, due to a booking glitch with our original reservation. The location was AMAZING with a view of the Marina as well as ocean. I loved sitting on the balcony after the stress of having to move across town. The staff was AMAZING, everyone was so nice and helpful. The room was very humid, I know its on the water, but a dehumidifier or two was very needed. Also, the tub backed up the first night we were there, and it stunk up the room after being drained. The kids loved the waterslides, it was the highlight of our stay. However not all the pools were open, and the hot tub that was advertised was down for "the unseeable future". Thank GOD the breakfast was included in our stay otherwise the restaurant is VERY expensive. The buffet was just "ok" but ordering off the menu was better in my opinion. Some of the breakfast staff were very grumpy, but others were so sweet. If you dont have the breakfast package, i wouldnt recommended. There was an amazing place called "Charlies Landing" .3 miles walking on the boardwalk that i highly recommend instead. Id recommended and stay here again for sure."

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel provides umbrellas and chairs and sets them up on the beach for you. This service alone makes the hotel stay worth it but there are more to love about this location. They are walking distance to great coffee (Brick & Bell) and delicious ice cream and crepes (Scoops). Good food is within walking distance so no need to drive anymore. Such a relaxing place to stay. We enjoyed the ping pong table, jenga, corn hole and foosball table."
