It's a dated upgrade from a motel. Its supposed to be demolished in the near future, but it's the only motel/hotel at the marina for the moment. The carpet in the room I was in this time, looks newer. The bed is lumpy, but like I said, its convenient if you have business at the Marina.

My first room was musty and they changed me to a better room. My second room had not been cleaned and they sent someone to clean it the next morning. My key didn't always work but if I kept trying eventually it would. This is a very basic older hotel. No housekeeping and you put your trash cans out in the hall to be emptied or ask for more towels at the desk. A microwave and lobby coffee and hot water would have been helpful. Breakfast was the same daily but good. Right on the harbor with a pool. Excellent snack system. Excellent very helpful staff.

Staff were friendly, pool nice, bed linens clean. Rooms/bathrooms are very old in need of maintenance. Terrible smell in the room that gave me the feeling of not wanting to walk in bare feet. I didnt feel confident that the A/C filter would be clean seeing the state of the room, so just got up a couple of times during the night to open balcony door and let fresh air in. Great location, but im afraid i wouldnt stay there again.

Hot tub was great! I wish there had been a bin for recycling. Room was clean. It's an older hotel and that shows in some areas. But very comfortable stay and fun being in the harbor and so close to restaurants, etc.

Property is older and the door swipes are a hoot! Quirky. The breakfast set up is amazing! Only there for the night for a memorial at sea. Loved my little courtyard/garden on a ground floor room for reading. Definitely thinking of a trip back. The lagoon down the road and park are lovely.
