I loved sitting on my balcony looking at the beach/ocean. My room was clean and spacious, the staff was friendly and helpful. Roger who was in charge of the beach chairs was there very early and stayed late into the afternoon. I enjoyed some lunches at the Tiki bar. I liked the location - close to Pier Park and Dog Beach.

My wife and I stayed here one night as we were just passing through. The room was very clean and comfortable, and our only regret is that we didn't get to stay longer. The view from the balcony was great and we enjoyed the direct beach access. Everyone on the staff was friendly and helpful. We hope we can visit again someday soon.
