Room was super clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Got a ground floor room with parking right in front of the room. I'm sure during busier times you would have to park in the garage. They even let us leave our car there the next day while we did a whale watching tour. Super nice shower and very clean. Only down side was the heating and cooling unit was easy to switch from heat to cooling when we just were trying to get the heat to stay on low. Definitely would stay here again!
