Review summary

Summarized by AI from 300+ reviews

This charming, Spanish-style apartment hotel is a vibrant beachfront retreat ideal for couples and sightseers seeking a lively getaway. Its prime location directly across from the beach and within walking distance of State Street and the pier is a significant advantage. Guests can enjoy the convenience of a pool and jacuzzi, though these are located at an adjacent property. The staff consistently receives praise for their friendly and helpful demeanor, and the complimentary breakfast, while carb-heavy, offers a convenient start to the day with appreciated sweets. For the best experience, consider requesting a room on a higher floor for potentially better views and to mitigate any noise concerns.
