Clean and Convenient Bathroom

“The bathroom in my room was super clean, with a great walk-in shower with excellent water pressure. I had plenty of towels at my disposal, which added to the comfort of my stay and made it easy to freshen up after a day at the beach.” view full review

Fun Pool Activities

“One of the highlights of my stay was the pool area. It was well maintained and not just a place to swim. There was a gentleman who entertained the kids by making balloon animals, made the atmosphere even more family-friendly and enjoyable.” view full review

Convenient Parking Options

“I found the parking to be very convenient, with options available right by the hotel. While it can be a bit tight during busy times, the overflow lot was a secure and safe alternative that was just across the street, making it hassle-free to access my vehicle.” view full review
