Overall, we had a wonderful time."

Comfort Inn South Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great stay. Hotel was in the perfect location, right on the beach. Staff were extremely helpful. Rooms were clean and we were provided plenty of towels on request. The only thing I’d like to suggest is breakfast. As a plant based eater it would’ve been nice to have had an option of non-dairy milk for cereals, coffees. Our rate included breakfast but I needed to go to the store for items. But still 10 out of 10"
