Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had such a great little getaway! The location was perfect — close to the beach and all the nice restaurants, which made everything super convenient. The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed for a relaxing stay. The lady who was cleaning was so kind and helpful during check-in, which made us feel very welcome. It was me, my daughter, and two of her friends, and we all had the best time. Highly recommend!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
My partner and I stayed here for her birthday, and it was amazing! It’s only about an 8-minute walk to St. Armands Circle and even less to the beach. The space was clean and comfortable—definitely a 10/10 stay. Some of the appliances could use an upgrade, but we were told that renovations were already underway during our visit, so I can’t wait to see the updates next time. We even tried to extend our stay, but the secret is clearly out about this place—it was fully booked! We’re already looking forward to coming back.

This was perfect for my family. We stayed in one of the condos so we had a kitchen and living room space. The facility isn't manned by in person staff so don't expect your room to be cleaned every day, but I prefer it that way. Very close to the beaches and a two minute drive to the local shops and restaurants.

Clean, comfortable, short walk to beautiful beach

Our room was nicer than I expected, after reading several of the reviews. AC worked fine, shower water was cool, but weather was hot so we didn't mind. Hotel provides beach chairs, which we used and appreciated. Beach parking lots were packed, so we loved the location of the hotel. We would definitely stay here again--much cheaper than nearby alternatives.

Excellent location and nice place. We did have issues with the living room light not wanting to stay off. Maybe another light on the same frequency in another unit? Also, the shower handle was completely broken off and there was no drain hardware. The shower was usable, but could use some work.
