Staff was great, super friendly. They are making upgrades to the property so we can’t wait to come back and check them out. There are EV chargers next door at the City Hall, which was very convenient. You CANNOT beat the location, a block from the beach!

Great location and clean, refreshed room. There was a lot of construction going on (no elevator, lobby closed, downsized breakfast, workers everywhere). Once complete it will be nice, but it was surprising there were no advisories when booking the hotel considering there are no rooms on the ground level and no elevator access for a month.
