Pier House Resort & Spa
Love this hotel! Friendly and helpful staff, rooms are nice and the balcony with ocean view was spectacular. Although the property is older, the cleanliness and friendly staff more than make up for the age. The restaurant on property is excellent, and the location can’t be beat. We will be back!
