This property is about 2 miles from the pier. Multiple walkable restaurants around the property. The staff was so helpful and friendly! The woman that checked us in was very friendly and patient. Parking is right under the hotel and vehicle was easily accessible via the elevator. The room was clean and comfortable. I would stay here again.
