Great location and large room; however, the rooms are dated, yet very clean. The price was reasonable and the beach bar out back is a nice amenity. Biking distance from everything and great path system. I would stay here again as it met our needs.

Not the fanciest resort we've ever stayed at, but it comfortable and met our expectations. The bed was comfortable and the shower was hot. The resort staff was excellent and very helpful. Everyone on the staff that we came into contact was very kind and ready to help. We liked that the resort was close to the downtown and easy walking distant to restaurants and shopping. We'll likely book the resort again next year.
