Just finished a 4 night stay at The Alexandra Inn. It's just an awesome place. Nice beachfront WITH AMAZING SUNSET VIEWS. We had a room on the 4th floor facing the water, and it was well worth it. Really liked the rooftop bar and restaurant. Great place to catch a drink and enjoy the view of the water. We did not eat here, but saw some of the food...See More

Staff was amazing, very clean well laid out hotel. Comfy beds and we loved the under bed lights since my husband is an early riser and didn't need to turn on the lamps to get around risking waking the rest of us. The game room was a nice touch as well as the evening chocolate chip cookies offered in the lobby. My kids devoured them. lol. Overall excellent experience!

A small group of us enjoyed drinks and dinner at the top of Blush Terrace on a beautiful, sunny day. Our server, Tre, was wonderful, and took such excellent care of us. The food was delightful, diverse, and the view of the bay was sublime. Thank you so much!
