Best Layover Experience
The hotel listed at a very convenient location of the Main Street. Very short walk to save on food, shoppers and local restaurants. 10 minutes walk to the shoreline. Staff Ms were super friendly and provided recommendations on local site seeing. We have a 20+ hr layover. They allow us to check-in early at around noontime. Breakfast was good, would be better if they have hard boil eggs and bacon.

Stay was good. Comfortable beds. Close to airport but no airport shuttle. About a $16 cab ride. Desk staff was very friendly and helpful and breakfast had some hot items and good selection overall.
