Wonderful hotel! The room was very spacious and clean, as was the bathroom. We appreciated the real bathroom door (hate when they use a barn door for a bathroom!) and the shower was awesome. Beautiful lobby, friendly front desk, surprisingly great gift shop and bar. But the best part - the view!! We were on the gulf side and sitting on the deck, sipping coffee in the sunshine while staring at the waves was…perfect.
