Staff were not very personalable. Coffee in lobby was luke warm and by time you added creamer, it was cold. Sign at check-in desk advertised discounted tickets for ferry to island, was told the night before they "aren't selling them" with no further instructions. Asked the next morning and was told I don't have any available. Rooms were okay, ours was "buggy", like someone left window or door open before we checked in.

Nice beach property near the bridge. Friendly staff, large suite with separate bedrooms. Room needed more TLC (Curved shower curtain rod was loose and pointed downward, causing curtain to slide to the center. A broken drapery wand was left standing in the corner, and the deadbolt on outside door didn't match up with the hole) but beautifully decorated and clean.

I was charged $160 more for booking through 3rd party site. One whole wall in the room did not have power/electricity and it took them over a day to correct and having to ask multiple times. One tv in the room did not work properly. I told the front desk. It was never fixed during our stay.

Overall, a nice property for the price. It's a short walk into town and to the ferry terminal from the hotel. Room was big but outdated with tiny TV's, broken tiles on our counter. The balcony was nice but unusable because of all the bugs. It would be nice if it was screened in. Front desk staff seemed bothered when I stopped to ask questions. Upon checkin, I was told they sold ferry tickets. When we went to purchase them the next morning, I was told they weren't selling them that day. If you are looking for a bed and a hot shower, this is the perfect place. No frills or extras.

We had a great view of the lake and the bridge. Only 2 ice machines for 4 floors! I could tell it was built fast and cheap. The quality of the construction was very evident. We also had issues with the TV’s not working properly.
