Our room was excellent. Clean and well stocked for cooking. My only complaint would be the washer on our floor didn’t work. I was able to wash clothes but used the machine and dryer on the 3rd floor. We stayed on 2nd floor. Also, we had issues with our trash chute being overflowing.

Our family enjoyed our stay here. Having the view of the ocean and quick access to the beach was great. It’s within a few short driving minutes to area attractions and dining. The pool was too cold to make use of but we did make use of the weight room and shuffleboard. I would stay here again.
