Service was great. Bathroom could have been cleaner. Worst part was that when I was getting ready for bed the linen was stained with what appeared to be dry blood. I called the front desk and they did took care of it right away.

Lovely hotel with wonderful nautical decor. Spotless, with full restaurant on site (not those silly glorified snack bars that have become common at hotels and are called restaurants...this hotel has an actual nice restaurant). Have to pay extra for parking....I think it was $35 a night, so factor that in when comparing prices. Fun hot tub under a tent and nice pool. Overall great hotel....everyone is super nice.
