Last minute overnight stay
Bridget at front desk was very helpful. Hotel/Rooms could be updated but had everything you needed. Clean rooms and very spacious. Best views from balcony that was very large and on waterfront. Easy access to walk the beach and indoor pool. Wish we could get a last minute deal price this summer! We would stay for a Week!

The decor in the rooms is pretty dated. They actually upgraded me, and were very kind, but the living area and bedroom looked like they were pulled out of an 80s jc penney catalogue.
