Hotel Services

The property offers an updated welcome lobby area. Ironing facilities, heating, and air conditioning are also provided. Elevator access is available in the Four Seasons building, including a ramp from the parking levels.

“What struck me most was its homey, cottage-like feel right on the oceanfront, offering surprisingly nice side beach views. The updated rooms, especially the efficiencies with kitchenettes, cater well to families needing space and a place to prep snacks. I think easy beach access and free YMCA fitness are huge pluses, making it a standout for active vacationers and those on a budget.”
