Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Front desk was so welcoming and informed about the area. Great customer service, which you hardly get anymore.
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.
Room 3111 was very damp. Must have flooded not too long ago. Bathroom door was swollen would not close. No table with chairs to eat at. Desk chair was rickety and unsafe to sit in. Phone did not work Property under construction next to our room.

The parking spots are very small. Especially if you’re driving a truck.
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.
The property was clean and the staff was great! The room was perfect for our needs as a family of four. There was plenty of linens, water was hot and AC was cold. Will stay again when we return! Highly recommend!
Perfect for what we needed. Will definitely be back. Staff was awesome. Coffee bar could use some creamer but that’s literally the only “con” if you can it that
