I’ve stayed here a few times. The latest was another great stay. I got an early check in and upgraded to Harbor view. The room was clean and comfortable. The property has a great hot jacuzzi with strong jets. The pool is clean and 8 feet deep at one end.. continental breakfast also.

Everything was great, but the noise through the walls.The walls are not noise proof as I could hear the adjoining room person cough all night long. Perhaps it’s just this room as I didn’t have this problem when I stayed here before.

When we arrived to the room it was very hot, the staff were not friendly. During my 2 day stay there were only 2 staff that were nice. For the amount I paid for my room (Honeymoon), I think breakfast could’ve been better. Ohhh and in the room I stayed in the sofa was dirty and torn. Thank you

It's a dated upgrade from a motel. Its supposed to be demolished in the near future, but it's the only motel/hotel at the marina for the moment. The carpet in the room I was in this time, looks newer. The bed is lumpy, but like I said, its convenient if you have business at the Marina.

My first room was musty and they changed me to a better room. My second room had not been cleaned and they sent someone to clean it the next morning. My key didn't always work but if I kept trying eventually it would. This is a very basic older hotel. No housekeeping and you put your trash cans out in the hall to be emptied or ask for more towels at the desk. A microwave and lobby coffee and hot water would have been helpful. Breakfast was the same daily but good. Right on the harbor with a pool. Excellent snack system. Excellent very helpful staff.
