Very clean, updated room with a nice view. We have stayed at the Rod and Reel several times but this is the first time we stayed after the renovations were made. We really like the updates that were made. The only complaint we have is the breakfast we had at the Rod and Reel restaurant was brought to us was not hot. We would have asked the server to warm our food but we did not have the time to do so. The food was good but would have been better hot.
