Liked: Cleanliness
The location was great and in walking distance to everything. The breakfast is almost all pre-packaged food. That was disappointing. The room was ok. I expect extremely clean rooms and was disappointed that when I moved the table and a few items , there were ketchup stains that had not been cleaned. I cleaned it and said nothing to the family. The woman who greeted us the first night was extremely friendly . Her name was Mary😊

Hope to stay again!

My family had a great stay. We planned to explore different parts of the Cape ovee our stay and this location was great for that. Great service. Plenty of fresh towels. Comfortable spacious room. Convenient breakfast, although on one morning the selection was very limited during the last hour of breakfast.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very old property. I’m sure it was beautiful in its day. The outside property was pretty and landscaped. The rooms were dated, furnishings broken, moldy smell, bathrooms needed a desperate heavy duty cleaning. Floors needed sweeped. Crumbs under the desk area. Lots of extra fees we were not aware of. Pool area looked nice and fire pits outside. We didn't use any of that. Tried to get a map from the front desk. Nothing. No information about area available. Many times no front desk staff around to help. Breakfast was laden with carbs. You could walk to downtown. There was a little marina we walked around.

We reserved a harbor view through Expedia. When we checked in, we were put in a pool view. They were fully booked so they couldn't move us to a harbor view. The only reason we chose this hotel was for the harbor view. Very disappointing.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property was well-maintained and nicely decorated. We spent a hot afternoon in the pool and enjoyed the harbor view. The room we stayed in was a double and was comfortable. There was one real problem, however, in that the bathroom had a very strong mildew smell. The odor was so strong that we had to keep the door closed and spend as little time in it as possible. We think the shower curtain was the source; we saw some mold and mildew spots on the bottom of it.
