The shuttle and driver were good. The issues started at the hotel. There was an odor of burned marijuana near the office, which does not inspire confidence. The room were supposed to be non smoking, but there was a strong odor of cigarette smoke in the room. The ceiling paint was peeling in large spots. The cleaning showed a lack of attention to detail with dirt on the baseboards and in corners, and there was a large stain on the couch.

Room was not particularly clean, no bedbugs but there was a cockroach in the shower that made us not use it for the majority of the stay. I didn’t see that mentioned in reviews, might be a new thing. Mystery stains on bedsheets and floors and bathrooms weren’t the cleanest, also almost none of the outlets worked for some reason. And the cable didn’t work either, just the smart tv. Says the place is soundproof, you can definitely still hear people around you and planes taking off too. If you just need a night to rest your head, perfectly fine. If you also need to take a shower, would not recommend.

There is lots of parking in front of hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was nice and served the purpose we needed. You definitely hear some sounds outside the room but that is to be expected for any motel type of setup. It wasn't an issue for us. Overall, I would recommend this hotel!

Okay, so this place looks a little sketchy on the outside. But the gentleman at the front desk was very friendly, and my room was amazing, pictures below. Immaculately clean, mini fridge and microwave, comfortable bed, and BEAUTIFUL view of the water. Desk to work as well. *There is no elevator so if you have mobility issues or are wheelchair bound make sure you ask for a first floor room!* My room was on the 3rd floor and it was AMAZING, and crazy inexpensive through Hotels.com I will be back!!
