“We stayed here to be close to the starting line for a race and it was such a great experience. So close to the ocean. Some great little restaurants in the area. It felt very safe and peaceful. The hotel was amazing and the room had everything we needed. We loved the high end finishes in the hotel and that there was a kettle, toaster, fridge ect. The bed, sheets, pillows were so comfortable. Everything was nice and clean. We had great experiences when we contacted the staff as well. We can’t wait to stay again and would highly recommend.”

“I really enjoyed the nicely set up room with a sink , silver wear, tea maker . The room felt clean but was free of scents or chemicals. The room had natural smelling bath products like shampoo, conditioner and body wash. There was even dish soap and a sponge. It was relatively quiet and close to beach . Overall it felt safe, welcoming and I enjoyed my stay and will stay here again .”
