We were in town for a funeral and wanted to stay reasonably close to the airport and the beach and this hotel fit the bill. ||The lobby is very large, bright, and has a great view of the water from almost all of the numerous seating options. Checkin was fast, efficient, and very friendly, even though I was three hours ahead of my stated check in time. ||My room was amazing. It was a corner room on the third floor with a water view. Lots of room, very clean, and lots of room. Too bad I was only here for one night! It was the first night of a multi-day, multi-city trip, so I appreciated the extra room to spread out in the evening and re-pack in the morning.||Breakfast the following morning was pretty standard Residence Inn fare, but was still tasty. The lady who was running the breakfast room was very nice and helpful. ||One of my colleagues had checked in a day before us and knew the entire staff (he's a talker), so shout out to Tobias who was there on Saturday night AND Sunday morning (which is apparently unusual). He was pleasant, kind, and put up with two guys who had spent the day at a funeral and appreciated the levity of our conversation with him.|

Very nice place for stopping on a road trip or just a place to stay for a week. Right on bay, beautiful views of sunset, friendly staff, helpful in all ways. Rooms are spacious and laid out great. Balcony is a plus for anyone. Free breakfast was very good for the most part. They've labeled all items so you know what you're getting. The pool is clean, and outside sitting areas are great, too.
