Room was clean, check in smooth, and close to both the boardwalk and downtown.

We were surprised to find out that the photo of breakfast offered is incorrect. Coffee and tea are the only things offered, the photo on Expedia shows pastries and fruit. We were told that was no longer offered. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c381f52a-aedd-4302-9d07-e814fa608402-1771260933760.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Elizabeth Stayed 1 night in Feb 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 3 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Rooms were excellent and staff as well.

Really appreciated how close it was to everything I needed, from shopping and restaurants to nature, the beach, and all the activities I was looking to do. The staff was lovely and very accommodating, and I really enjoyed my stay here! ##### Jessica Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gregory 15 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great people and great location!
