We chose this hotel for its convenient, walkable location to the beach, marina and pier area. A huge bonus was our balcony looking over the bay. It was a beautiful place to sit and watch the sunrise, the boats during the day, and city lights over the water at night. We had a five year old with us and she loved the pool area. The lobby was large and served as our game area on a rainy day, in addition to it being the breakfast area. It was large, but needed to be during spring break. The whole area, including the hotel, was bussing with families this week. But the hotel handled it well. Our room was a small suite on the 6th floor and it was clean and pleasant. The hotel staff were cheerful and helpful. We parked at the hotel and used the convenient valet service. The laundry room was also clean and useful.
