A nice suite hotel with reasonable prices. Close to beaches, shopping, and dining. Room was decent size with everything needed. The pool is outdoors and across the parking lot as it is shared with another hotel. The staff was knowledgeable about local beaches with helpful suggestions. The breakfast was a typical hotel buffet with the basics.

Great for families. We loved the access to food, Target, Costco, and outlets. Close enough to university and beach. Only hot menu item for breakfast is waffles, but that's fine, they did have boiled eggs and sausage sandwiches that could be heated in microwave so that gave good savory options. Very clean, great staff.
