Very Relaxing Weekend!
Our stay was really nice here - staff, room, ocean view from our balcony, beach time, restaurant and tiki bar steps outside the room on the pier were perfect! Such a wonderful weekend getaway!! Delicious dinner nearby at Uncle Vinny's Pizzeria, followed by dessert at Pop's Diner. Next morning, Island Bagels was a treat! Would definitely go back and stay here again.

Cute refurbished hotel with local restaurants and bars close by. There’s one on the property and more about half a mile down the road. The reception team were all so nice and the hotel remodel is so cute. We enjoyed the tiki bar at sunset and beach access was great! It was a great overnight stay, just wish it was longer.

6/10 Good

Check in was smooth. Our 4th floor room had a nice ocean view. Unfortunately the bed was not comfortable and there was only one night stand on one side of the king sized bed which is odd. The room always felt damp (our swim suits & towels never dried) - I guess there’s no getting rid of high humidity in a beachfront room, even w the a/c running. Overall it was just an okay experience for the price we paid. I don’t think we’ll stay at this property again.

Excellent! Loved Every Minute!
This hotel exceeded all my expectations! The decor was vibrant and eclectic, with rooms and lobby boasting a unique style. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. The restaurant/ bar on property has delish food and stunning views. The location was perfect for exploring local art. Local cuisine. If you’re looking for a fun and memorable getaway, this hotel is a must-visit!

We stayed in the South building. Room was large and comfortable. Bed was VERY firm. Took us a few days to get used to it. Oceanfront view was excellent. Tiki bar was great. Staff was very friendly. Only bad thing was the internet. Wi-Fi was basically unusable and even though our phones showed 5G it was nearly impossible to go online from the room. Outside the room and at the bar it worked fine.
