Overall our experience was great kat was amazing and always eager to help us with our adventures in the bay with a smile!!! I didnt catch the young lady who checked us in but on 9/19/25 after 6 pm the lady who greeted us was very welcoming and above and beyond friendly. There was one instance where the front desk refused to give us a clean towel to my husband and i was laready in the shower she said we had to return the old ones, every other day they were fine with us leaving them at the door for the week and would happily give us new ones. We only utilized house keeping 1 time in our weeek stay. So that was a bit frustrating but overall the rest of the saff were kind and friendly the breakfast was good and we would visit again.
