One of the best hotels to stay at on the island!! I can’t recommend this place enough. It’s very clean, modern, and well kept. The staff is incredibly welcoming and reliable. Parker and Melissa were very accommodating and gave great recommendations for food and activity on the island. The view of the ocean on the third floor gathering area is real treat too with lots of space. Also the continental breakfast was good, plenty of food, coffee, and juice. They served free wine and cheese on Friday. I highly recommend staying here than some of the other hotels, this place is probably the best bang for the buck, especially since it’s so close to the beach.

Such a convenient location, close to downtown. However it’s a little bit up a hill, which is also great as the views from their upper deck is beautiful! Also no elevators, and if you bring your Ebike they have a location for you to store it But it’s up a flight of stairs. There was a vacant lot next door so instead we locked our bikes there. Awesome continental breakfast, not just a bagel but eggs sausage, english muffins, cereals and mimosas! We really enjoyed our stay and will book again.
