I had a wonderful time at this hotel during President's Day Weekend. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the beach and Stearns Wharf, and the amenities offered great value for the price. The heated pool and complimentary happy hour added to the experience, but a few small issues with room maintenance kept it from being perfect.

Rooms

The room was fresh with an updated coastal decor, though I noticed some minor wear and tear that needs attention. A microwave would have been a great addition.
