Wonderful place to stay

Our stay was fantastic. Check in was quick and easy and the reception staff were very friendly. We stayed on the 4th floor and had a great view of the ocean and Strand. Easy parking and also a short walk to restaurants. The room was perfect for our short stay. Would definitely recommend.
