I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, where the cleanliness was top-notch, and the staff was incredibly friendly. Its location is superb, just two blocks from 5th Avenue and the beach, which made it easy to explore nearby restaurants and shops. I loved that there was free parking available, and the convenience of having a restaurant right across the street for breakfast was fantastic.
