Excellent

Very clean. Spacious room with full kitchen and walk out patio lawn to marina. Beautiful sunrises. Very convenient location, walk to restaurants and great views of the harbor. We will be back!
Loved how big these rooms were! Little kitchenette. The bathrooms had beautiful tiles. Lots of counter space. Beds were very comfortable, and loved the height on them. Each room had theor own balcony with great views!
I stayed one night the room was clean everything worked I had no complaints at all and a beautiful view of the harbor. I did not pay extra for the beautiful view but it appears most all rooms have a nice view of either the harbor or the boats that are moored depending on which direction you're facing
Great place. Very quiet. Our room was very spacious. Staff went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. We bought breakfast 2x and both were very good. Large portions. Had one dinner and it was great. Service was very timely. Guacamole was made table side. Awesome location. Hope to return!!
Room very clean. Great location. Front desk was out of pool towels frequently. We had a small leak in our ceiling the one night it rained. Informed the front desk.
