6/10 Good

The property location is the best. Beautiful ocean view, loads of fun things to do. The inns beds are soft and relaxing. The design of the inn is beautiful. You are surrounded by overpriced restaurants FYI. Some upgrades like a microwave in the room should be a must. Only 2 vending machines for such a big property is a no. Front desk should have a walk-in pantry for customers to buy things, 24hr lobby hello. If you enjoy being across the street from the beach this is the place to be.

Basically this is the place

This place is amazing. Probably the best place we could have picked. I think it’s the closest hotel to the pier. There’s nice restaurants nearby. It’s a few blocks from basically anything and everything we were interested in. The property is beautiful with the stream and the bridges going over the water. Two small complaints. 1. There’s no microwave for the guests anywhere on the property. If you’re made of money, that isn’t a problem. You just eat out for every meal. 2. Parking is a separate $32 per night. I didn’t notice that anywhere until I showed up. I half expected it, but it’s pretty lame I would’ve added photos but this app is saying they’re too large

10/10 Exceptional

This property was conveniently located to many dining options and it was right in front of the beach. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only con was that parking was a little difficult. They do offer a parking option, but we arrived towards the later part of the night and there were only a few compact spaces left.
