The room was clean and pleasantly decorated! I love that it has a comfortable chair and love seat to relax in. I reserved a “sea view” room and the balcony looks out on the bay. There is an elevator which is very convenient, also. I was only here one night but I’d come back to stay longer next time.

Pros include the quiet location at edge of down town area, private balcony with water view, and the hot breakfast served by staff. Room was dated but clean. Con was a musty stale odor in the room, remedied by leaving balcony door open to provide fresh air. As hotel is right on the water, they should consider getting rid of the damp carpeting in favor of lv flooring or tile.

In the middle of an upgrade

The view of the water was nice. It seemed like they were in the middle of a renovation because we had 2 rooms and one of them looked fresh and clean and the other on seemed dated and needed a lot of work. Breakfast was strange - they didn't let you serve yourself but insisted on scooping and portioning out the continental breakfast. That's probably fine for a lot of people but we have preschoolers and they were nervous to ask for a scoop of eggs or sausage. Not much room for breakfast either - only one table. Probably designed for you to take back to you room to eat. A note about the town -- so many mosquitoes!! Bring mosquito spray!

Good place for a short stay. Clean, comfortable beds and nice view from the balcony. I did not give 5 stars because the choice of rooms is mis advertised; the only difference between the standard and de luxe is floor with the 3rd floor having a better view. No difference in room size, facilities or renovation.

Many great things about this hotel: location, beautiful views, nice pier with picnic tables and benches, pool, hot tub, and pickleball courts available. While the rooms are clean and adequate, they are very dated and basic. We had a small fridge that even had rust and damage to it which, although it worked fine, felt unacceptable. The staff was friendly at check in and check out. If you’re not going to spend much time in your room, it’s a good option.
