The staff was friendly and very accommodating. They did a nice job renovating it from Best Western. The location was great. There was good food nearby, and we could put our kayaks in the water right from the property.

The lodging was perfect for us: on the water, cool pool with great view, boat ramp, and a choice of good restaurants that had gluten free options. Reasonably priced, and the staff could not be nicer, from the front desk to the coffee shop to those who clean and maintain the property. Everything was very clean, which is the most important thing to me. We are definitely returning.

Older property, but well kept. Our room was clean and location is great! Love the docks and restaurants close by. Wish there was a small breakfast, but Mc Donald’s was just up the road. I’ll stay there again.

Nice but a bit of a shambles.
Room next to a building site. Started work at 8am Saturday morning. Big foot staying upstairs. Old man looking through the window at 10am Saturday morning. No USB charging points. Not worth $170 a night.
