It is clean and well maintained, the only thing I don't like is the shower design, it's very easy make the washroom wet everywhere, hope it can use a better design while considering accessibility in future renovation.

Place was very nice and clean. Only downside is parking and hauling your luggage quite a distance from the entrance. Also you have to carry the luggage up stairs to get to the lobby. Bit of a hassle but otherwise great hotel.

Front staff was very welcoming and friendly, parking was plentiful, rooms were spotless, and the soaps and hand lotion were high quality. We walked to a local spot for dinner by the water, so can’t comment on the hotel restaurant, but the menu looked really good. Would definitely stay here again!
