8/10 Good
"The two ladies at the front desk were very helpful and courteous . The hotel was nice and the room was clean . The bed was comfortable and I really liked having a balcony to be able to set out and look outside and enjoy the weather. The view was not the greatest, it was pretty much view of the roof an d the front of the building. I did not get to enjoy breakfast because I overslept. Overall the stay was very pleasant, I was right across the street from the seawall and Golden Corral was in the parking lot of the hotel.. I would stay again!!!"
