Last minute overnight stay

Bridget at front desk was very helpful. Hotel/Rooms could be updated but had everything you needed. Clean rooms and very spacious. Best views from balcony that was very large and on waterfront. Easy access to walk the beach and indoor pool. Wish we could get a last minute deal price this summer! We would stay for a Week!
