The staff was amazing n friendly…. So very clean n nice smelling n spacious…. The only thing I didn’t like was no pool or hot tub… no place to sit out side in the afternoon. Ohhh and the bar… it was also great. We took our 13 month old and her walker n we all had a blast. Debbie was the most kind n gracious person we ran into there… we will definitely be back even if just to visit her. 💖

Great overnight staff! Clean and safe hotel. Breakfast and coffee were good. The toiletries were micro sized and not full. The shower has a small step and no grab bars. You can hear quite a bit through the walls but it’s still a very nice place to stay. No pool or spa

Hotel staff were all amazing and respectful the entire time! As soon as a room was ready for check in, they called me to let me know. My stay was comfortable, clean, decent price, and everything needed for a great get away. Marina and ferry landing in view of the hotel and a bonus bar on the property upstairs. You get what you pay for and at this property you get everything and more. I went back the next day and stayed another night and was very impressed.
