Purchased the protection plan just in case and sure enough had an emergency arise. The Hotel nor Expedia could cancel or refund even partial payment. So purchase at your own risk. Next year I’ll be staying elsewhere and will recommend others do the same.

Great location on the Seawall and near by everything. Clean, ac worked well, plenty of free parking and for the price, it’s good for what you get. I wouldn’t pay more than $100 and it’s great for budget travel.
