Liked: Cleanliness
Nice place to stay, but the lack of elevator was a problem. I requested a ground floor through Travelocity and then requested it directly from the establishment specifically for our elderly boxer who has arthritis. We were very disappointed to find that we had a second floor room. It made things more difficult but we were able to make it work. Also the AC was woefully underwhelming. The room was good, clean and comfortable.

Booked a 2 queen bed room. The front desk closes at 10PM. They called to setbup key pick-up if checking in later than 10PM. Ok. Great. Arrived at 10PM exactly. Got key went to room. Room only had ONE queen bed. No instructions on how to contact anyone. Had to have someone sleep on the floor. Thank goodness we traveled with our own blankets. Not sure why room was changed there was maybe 8 other people at hotel. I suggest calling hotel to confirm room type don't trust your booking

Great stay

Check in was a breeze with a very friendly and helpful staff member. The room was very well appointed and comfy. It was very quiet so my dogs were very calm. Wonderful stay. To note, the Harbor Table restaurant on the property was fantastic.

Good value for the price.

My second floor room was great- nice beds and updated. First floor is being worked on so a little disheveled. No breakfast but I think that’s reflected in the prices. Overall was a solid place to stay.
