I had a lovely time at this hotel! The room was clean and decent size, and I was pleasantly surprised to find complimentary wine in the lobby and a bottle of sparkling wine in my room. The staff was extremely welcoming and helpful, making my stay even more enjoyable. The location was great, close to the water and within walking distance to downtown and the beach. The dining experience could have been better, but overall, it was a wonderful stay.
My stay at the hotel was quite nice overall. The rooms were nicely decorated and comfortable, making for a cozy stay with its plush bed. However, there was a slight musty scent that aggravated my allergies, and the room felt a bit dark at times. The pool time with wine, grapes, and cheese in the late afternoon was a delightful touch.
