The hotel has a stunning location right across from Heisler Park and offers a decent glimpse of the ocean. While the rooms are small with a pull-down Murphy bed, they are clean and comfortable for two guests. Unfortunately, the service was a letdown, as I encountered an unfriendly front desk staff who weren’t very helpful with parking issues. The facilities could use an upgrade, but for the price, it was overall a fair place to stay.

The resort boasts a stunning location right by the park and beach, with spacious suites that are well-appointed. However, I felt that our advance booking didn't land us the best room with an ocean view, and parking can be a challenge due to tight spaces.
