    clean room but limited dining options nearby

    The room was immaculate with shiny flooring and fresh linens. I also appreciated the drinking glasses and coffee mugs provided.

    Dining choices within walking distance are somewhat limited.

    convenient location
    helpful amenities
    parking difficulties
    communication issues
    room placement errors

    The location was a highlight, with proximity to the beach and convenient access to nearby restaurants. However, parking was a hassle, requiring us to park across the street. Notably, the lack of communication about room placement was frustrating. The comfort of having a fridge and microwave in the room counterbalanced some of the drawbacks.

    clean swimming pool
    hot tub
    lack of breakfast

    I had a fantastic 2-night stay in the King Room Annex, where I enjoyed a refreshing dip in the clean swimming pool and relaxed in the hot tub after a long day. The only bummer was the lack of breakfast options, but with so many nearby restaurants, I never ran out of choices. Definitely recommend this place for a great getaway! 😊

    I truly enjoyed the modern décor of my room, which was both stylish and comfortable. The spacious layout made it very easy for me to move around, and the cleanliness of the facilities was quite impressive.

    A bit more accessible parking would be helpful.

    Would recommend for a city trip

    Clean room, convenient location, with easy access to main thoroughfares for sightseeing, a flat-screen TV for entertainment, and a microwave and minifridge that were useful during our stay.

    The parking situation is quite cramped.

    historic artwork
    modern furnishings
    central accessibility
    furniture wear
    noise issues

    The location is prime for anyone wanting to be close to downtown activities, providing a nice balance of accessibility without the noise. The rooms have a distinct vibe with modern touches and historic artwork that nods to local culture, creating a comfortable atmosphere.

    Room furnishings show noticeable wear, and some minor cleanliness issues were present, including remnants of past guests in the bathroom. At times, street sounds filtered in, which could be bothersome if you're looking for a tranquil stay. Noise from neighboring rooms can also be an inconvenience, making it hard to get a good night's sleep, especially with loud neighbors or outside disturbances.

    poor parking

    We enjoyed our stay at this hotel, especially the convenient location near the beach. The room was updated with nice amenities like a fridge and microwave, making it perfect for our large family. The housekeeping staff did an excellent job keeping everything clean.

    In my kids’ opinion, the parking situation was tough on us during the busy holiday weekend.
