    “The best stay I have ever had at any hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, the rooms were super clean and everything seemed new, cool amenities like the outdoor lounge with fire pits. The location is perfect right across from the beach and a dog bakery. Dog beach nearby and incredibly accommodating with our dogs. They provided food and water bowls, toys and treats.”
