"My husband and I stayed at this hotel for a quick weekend getaway. The customer service was excellent. Check in went smoothly and our room was upgraded to a larger suite. The valet attendants were hustling to ensure clients did not have to wait for their vehicles. The property was exceptionally clean. Both evenings, someone arrived to provide turndown service, bottle water (sparkling as well), and to offer any additional services. All staff were exceptionally pleasant and friendly. This was our first time staying at this hotel and we will definitely return."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely stay here again! The room was very clean, the shower was huge, and the bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable. We slept great! The staff was courteous, friendly, and got us checked in quickly. The location is fantastic, especially being right by the beach. There is a train that runs nearby, but honestly, we didn't hear it at all during our stay. And the breakfast was amazing! It was a full buffet with plenty of options to choose from, not just your typical grab a muffin and go hotel breakfast. By the time you factor in what you'd spend taking the family out for breakfast, paying a little extra to stay here practically pays for itself. Clean room, comfortable beds, great location, friendly staff, and a fantastic breakfast. All around a great stay and definitely 5 stars from us! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
