Eight of us stayed for 1 night prior to going on a cruise. The property was cute, clean, and convenient. I would book again. The beach is literally steps away. Food in the area is very expensive so be prepared for that!

Good Value in Art Deco District
Staff was very friendly. Room could have used a chair. The breakfast voucher provided access to the restaurant next door. The choices were limited and the service was not great. It seemed like they don’t know how to do breakfast. Great location. Pool at the sister hotel was nice. Good value for the money.
