Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were plain but very nice and exceptionally clean, although they lacked external views. It would have been nicer to have a fridge and microwave in the room. The service was friendly and accommodating, although there were some disturbances from other guests during events. The location was convenient for my activities but had some issues with parking and interactions with locals. The dining experience was enjoyable, with good food and service, while the facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel is simply the bomb diggity! The rooms are nice and clean with a great view of the ocean, making the sunrise from the bed in the morning amaze ballz. The service is extremely helpful, and the location is great right in town near shops and restaurants. The dining options are good, with a central location convenient for the university, and the facilities are fantastic.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although spacious with a beautiful view, needed some maintenance like a carpet clean and window checks. The limited machines were all in good working order, which was a plus. The service staff were friendly and helpful, especially with local information, despite the check-in process lacking friendliness and informativeness. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of town near shops and restaurants, offering wonderful views from the balconies. The dining experience had some delays in service, but the food was enjoyable. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
The hotel offers modern and comfortable rooms with nice shower products, close to quaint shops and Starbucks. However, the rooms can feel congested and small.
I stayed at this hotel and had a mix of experiences. The room was beautifully appointed with an extremely comfortable king bed but the constant noise from the HVAC unit was really bothersome. The partial view of the waterfront was a nice touch though. The service was very friendly and welcoming, with good overall service provided by the staff. The location was central to many good restaurants and attractions, but the presence of transients openly using drug paraphernalia was concerning. The dining experience at Minnows was excellent and reasonably priced but the blaring music in the dining area was a bit much. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.

The dining experience is delightful with tasty options. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor inconveniences.
