Description: The Boynton Beach area is convenient to both South and Central County—you’re only about 15 minutes away from Atlantic Avenue in Delray and the shops and restaurants of Boca Raton, and you’re the same distance from the attractions of West Palm Beach. The hotel and all of its 168 rooms—with one king or two queens—have been completely renovated recently. Each room has a microwave and an ironing board. There’s a nice lobby cafe, along with work-areas. The pool is heated in winter, and the hotel also has meeting facilities. Rooms and public areas are pleasant and contemporary, and there’s a “Go” board in the lobby that lists such things as local weather forecasts, attractions, and what’s going on in the area.
