Great location! Right on the beach., recently renovated, complimentary welcome champs! Nextdoor to Poseidon Restaurant. A+!!!
The room was not able to be dark as there was a light outside or our room so it was really light in our room. I went to the conceirge and he said he would put a towel over the blinds but he never did. In addition, the people above us were incredibly loud, waking us up last night.

We have stayed there several times in the last 2 years and the property and staff are amazing. With tje proximity to both dog beaches, it's perfect for dog owners.
Outstanding check in procedure, beautiful room, no parking fees, no resort fees. Highly recommend this hotel and we will come back! Out standing bed sheets and the beautiful view
