The best thing was the staff. They did an awesome job of making guest feel welcome. The hotel itself is very old and could use some renovation. Despite the hotel age, the rooms were clean and clean towels were provided each day.

Room was clean overall, so the cleaning staff is doing a good job. No breakfasts at all despite being heavily advertised and you must pay an extra 15 dollars to simply park your car on the property?? Front desk is open late so that could be helpful if needed. Overall not impressed but at least we had a place to stay for the night.

This place was very clean and looked to be remodeled recently. It was so nice and roomy. The mini split kept the room nice and cool. The only issue was that the walls are pretty thin and we could hear the neighbor’s conversations. Other than that, it was a nice stay next to the bay. You do have to pay for parking.
