The hotel was absolutely delightful, offering spacious rooms with all the amenities one could desire for a relaxing 3-day stay. I particularly enjoyed the spa bath after a long beach stroll and appreciated the lovely patio and well-equipped kitchen. The rooms were clean, generously sized, and had everything I needed. The overall experience was great, although there was room for improvement in certain areas.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were tiny and somewhat slippery, but they were spotless, had comfortable beds, and a well-equipped kitchen. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful, with a touch of true southern hospitality. The location was great, near the beach and close enough to town. The dining experience was delivered on time, and the facilities were satisfactory.
