If you don't want to spend the extra money to stay on the beach, this is an excellent location at an unbeatable price. It's only a few minutes drive to the beach and there are plenty of restaurants (and a movie theater, grocery store, fitness club, and more) within walking distance. There is a greenway right outside of the hotel, which is convenient for a run, walk, or bike ride. Our room was truly a suite with a kitchenette, couch, and spacious and comfortable bedroom/bathroom area. It was great to have a fridge and a table where we could eat takeout and play cards. The staff is high energy and super helpful. When I arrived back to the hotel late d/t a bike wreck on the morning of check out, Kaiti and Kenley were generous to give my husband and me a later check out than I had already asked for, and they gave me first aid supplies. We will definitely stay here again!
