"Stayed 8 nights in September and was extremely happy. The Staff was super friendly, everything was very clean, good breakfast. The downfall would be that there is no private parking but plenty of options. You can bring the car to the front door to load and unload but just can't park there. There's the casino parking which is right there. The town is amazing, relaxing, beach across the street, walk and bike path, restaurants and everything you would want at a vacation or just passing by. 5 stars!"
