Easy to walk to several restaurants and less than 5 min drive to many more and a grocery store. Downtown shopping is 10 min away and the beach is 12. This is a great hotel with simple but clean rooms and grounds. The pool and hot tub were relaxing and the staff was friendly. I came with my family and would definitely stay again.
