The suite was bigger than my first apartment. The furniture was dated but so stinking comfortable. Keep in mind they are tearing down the hotel and rebuilding later this year. The couch was perfect for cuddling with my husband and watching tv before bed. When we checked in, they gave us a little gift box for our dog with a toy, potty bag container with bags and fold up dog bowl. It was a nice touch. Oh and call the hotel if you are bringing a pet. There is a pet deposit, daily fee and parking fee that Expedia doesn’t inform you of or charge for. So we wound up paying $260 more for our stay when we checked in. Overall I would book again

The hotel was clean but definitely outdated. Nothing in particular wrong with it but it's definitely more expensive yet offers less than other places because you are by water. Our stay was fine, not sure we'd go back but mostly just because of the outdated/more expensive piece- there is nothing wrong with it.
