"Stayed here 3 days and 4 nights. Nothing crazy special about the place besides being near the marina and being able to walk around it during sunset. Breakfast was as basic as it could get. Continental, but still pretty good. Took advantage of the pool and hot tub everyday. Overall stay was really good and very conveniently close to everything one would want to go check out."

"When our flight was cancelled late at night, we were lucky to find this place. We hope to return on purpose sometime soon! The staff was very helpful, with transporting our luggage and walker to and from the room in a building a ways from the lobby. When morning came, we were very pleased with the view and the very nice room. The restaurant looked very nice, although we chose to take-out the breakfast to our room and enjoyed it a lot."
