This property was within a few blocks of my event, preferred restaurants and the beach. It was quiet and a relaxing experience. The bed was very comfortable, which is a plus for a restless sleeper. However, on two mornings, the water in the shower was at best, lukewarm and chilly at worst. I powered through and should have reported it, but my schedule didn't give me many free moments. Also, I never was able to open the balcony door. Otherwise, great stay.

The staff was great! Easily upgraded our room and also threw in free parking. The pool leaves a bit to be desired. Pool water was cloudy and the outdoor furniture a bit stained. I’d definitely stay there again, great location!
