Hot tub was great! I wish there had been a bin for recycling. Room was clean. It's an older hotel and that shows in some areas. But very comfortable stay and fun being in the harbor and so close to restaurants, etc.

Property is older and the door swipes are a hoot! Quirky. The breakfast set up is amazing! Only there for the night for a memorial at sea. Loved my little courtyard/garden on a ground floor room for reading. Definitely thinking of a trip back. The lagoon down the road and park are lovely.
