Ocean Echo Inn and Beach Cottages
All-around wonderful experience! The location is great, the rooms are clean and well-designed (and quiet!) and the bed was super comfy. Be sure to go to Cole's BBQ for some ribs. I will be back!

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection
The staff was great. The dryers were out so the staff was trying to accomedate as best they could. The ATM was also out so we couldnt tip housekeeping. Overall, the stay was great. They were working through unforseen circumstances.
