great stay NEAR attractions

lovely viewthoughtful touchair conditioning unit
the hotel was close to shops, restaurants, and attractions. the sunset bar offered a lovely view of the harbor and sunset key. the refrigerated water, available for free, was a very thoughtful touch.
my room had a balcony. it overlooked the pool area. a loud air conditioning unit was situated outside, and this impacted the overall experience.
