The room is very bright and welcoming! Comfortable stay! The complex was decent, however the staff was right when they mentioned the view from this side wasn’t the best. My wife and I enjoyed the shared balconies at night for a bit of ocean breeze. We ate good with a short drive to Pier park. Very wonderful experience! Thank you for having us .- Posted: 6/9/2024
