The toom was very nice and had a lovely balcony overlooking the bay. There are just a couple of things that would’ve made this stay even better. You have to check in at the hotel next-door, but that was never communicated to us beforehand. There was a note on the door that I didn’t notice at first. The room was a little bare boned. It would’ve been nice if there had been a lamp and charging station on both nightstands instead of just one. And the bathroom had no place to hang my toiletry bag or counter space to place things on. There also is no shelf in the shower to place shower things. I think the addition of those simple items would make the stay much more comfortable. The location was great and it was nice that there was a restaurant to have breakfast in the hotel next-door.

The room is dated and in need of some TLC. Rust, moldy toilet, musty smell. They provide room service and made beds, restocked linens. The bayview from the balcony was wonderful. Small pool and the cafe is in another building.

This hotel was located in a great location! With many restaurants and bars nearby. The room was spacious but out dated carpet that smell like dusty MILDEW! I couldn’t sleep with the lingering smell and dust! I had to aired out the MILDEW smell by having my balcony door open for the two nights of my stayed!!! beds were very uncomfortable and pillows! There was a bug on my pillow when I woke up!!! Thank god it was on my last day!!! The front desk staff were very courteous and friendly. On my last night at the hotel I found a young lady laid out near my door and startled the hell out of me!!! I had to go to the front desk to get help! This was at 4am!!! I was traumatized after!!! The only good thing I can say about this hotel, that it had a balcony and a beautiful sunset view. The bedding was dingy!!! You will need to bring your own pillows and bedding if you want to get some rest. I will not recommend to this hotel!

This property has really gone down over the years it’s needs a serious upgrade. Mold in bathroom on sink and tub, flush toilet could hear the floor rumble, and one elevator that takes forever literally walked up and down the stairs the entire weekend. Horrible stay . The beds are so hard and the covers were so thin.
