Top hotels in South Front District
Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites
Hopefully It was just off season but the restaurant hours were ridiculous. No complimentary coffee and the restaurant didn’t open until 8 am. They close again between each meal service as well. Rather disappointing when others offer coffee and water for a lesser rate.

Check in was easy. Breakfast was nice and fresh. Only one elevator was seemed to be working with no signage or notice. Otherwise good experience for one night stay.
