What I liked - almost across the street from beach (2 minute walk), courtyard area is nice; parking excellent; room was clean; comfortable beds; bathroom was the nicest part of room. What I did not like - Double room had no place to store clothing; no dressers or shelving in room. Lived out of my suitcase. There was a small closet with no hangers. I asked for them and they never came. No mirror in room except for bathroom. Plenty of space for dresser/shelves but instead they had this big chair in room that served no purpose but to collect my clothes. I believe there are nicer rooms but not the standard double room. I told them I was disappointed with my room and there was no reaction. It was not worth $225/night for the lack of these amenities. I would not stay again for that price.

Karen,We are so sorry that your stay didn't go as well as you wanted it to be.Our standard king and two beds are smaller that our Deluxe rooms. We always advise guest if not happy after the check-in , to see if we can upgrade for a small fee. The full length mirrors are inside the closet . Maybe in the future you will give us another chance , and you can take a look at the other room types we have to offer. We will make it a better one than this one.Kind regards,

Very Quaint

We had only booked 1 night, and unfortunately not able to get a late checkout. Since we had an afternoon flight, we did not get to take advantage of the pool. However, we sat on the deck that overlooks the ocean, and it was perfect. This felt like an oasis in the middle of what felt like total chaos due to spring breakers. I love the fact that there is a gate keeping most of the the craziness out. If I could change one thing, it would be the air freshener. It was just a bit much both in the front checkin area and the individual rooms. It is a beautiful hotel!
