We checked out right at 10:45a and breakfast was shut down. The manager approached me and asked what I might like, and she would see if it was still available. Such a nice touch as I can't take meds without food.

The entire staff from beginning to end were amazing. Kristen was very attentive via text. Loved Lisa the bartender. Andrew was awesome at check out. The hotel is very close to the beach and many restaurants. Breakfast was decent. The only thing that hotel needs to spruce it up is get rid of the carpet inside and outside of the rooms. We enjoyed our stay either way and will definitely be back.
