    You wouldn't think there'd be a decent restaurant in a chain hotel, but this defies those perceptions. You're not there for ultra-fine dining, but the food is very good, the service was excellent, and expect a kid friendly environment considering this hotel serves families who are coming to the beach. The value is similar to other restaurants in the region, and would come with a solid recommendation to at least give it a try.
