We stayed in a marina view room. The bed was a little on the hard side but comfortable none-the-less. The views were beautiful, and other than a couple of kids being loud outside at 7am, it was very tranquil. The groups are well taken care of and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I recommend staying here!

Adriana at the front desk set tone for great stay.
The room was nice and comfortable, beds were so comfy, wonderfully large TV, fantastic views. Staff were very friendly. Check in was nice and smooth because Adriana was so sweet and helpful. I had a problem with my back and she was incredibly kind and understanding. A couple things they could fix: Broken window blind slats Gap under door let in a lot of noise from the hallway No working ventilation in the bathroom Low quality coffee and coffee maker Smelly sink water

Sadly our smoke detector and phone didn’t work. Had to keep walking up to request items. No hotel toiletries until we asked. Pay $25 for hotel parking but if you come in after 10 you can’t find any. Bed was super uncomfortable and roaches found in bathroom. Beautiful area. Not staying here again.
