"The location is 10/10. Very clean, staff was great. We brought our dog and they gave him a goody bag. The reason I selected 4 stars is because the rooms/bathroom are extremely small. Not that big of a deal because we weren’t in the room a lot but it would’ve been nice to have more space to stretch out. The lobby is cozy so we hung out there sometimes they had snacks and drinks. Tons of restaurants, shopping and beach access. Great stay!"
