Nice hotel close to beach and restaurants

Pros: Close to everything. I didn't use my car.
I had a very pleasant stay. One block from beach. Close to restaurants, supermarket, and shops. Room was cleaned. The air conditioning makes some noise when it starts but it is ok.

Wonderful staff and location!

Pros: The staff and location were the top 2 positives for this hotel. The accommodations such as the full kitchen and outside grill are added perks.
Cons: The pool heater was not working. Parking is very limited. The pool gate is very loud and can be heard in the room constantly slamming.
Location: The beach is one block over. There are many restaurants, Publix, and the fishing pier in less than a mile walk.
I can't say enough good things about this hotel. I would definitely recommend it, and stay there again. The pros, all you can need is within walking distance: grocery store, restaurants, live music, fishing, and the beach. The hotel has the grill, pool, flat screen tv, laundry, and full kitchen. The cons, parking does not accommodate everyone. I was only allowed one parking pass, so I could not have a visitor. The pool gate is very loud and can be hear from in the room slamming shut all day long. On the morning of check-out, the housekeeper came in at 9:30 am while I was still sleeping and asked what time I was checking out. I would advise you to put on the do not disturb sign.
