Okay, so this place looks a little sketchy on the outside. But the gentleman at the front desk was very friendly, and my room was amazing, pictures below. Immaculately clean, mini fridge and microwave, comfortable bed, and BEAUTIFUL view of the water. Desk to work as well. *There is no elevator so if you have mobility issues or are wheelchair bound make sure you ask for a first floor room!* My room was on the 3rd floor and it was AMAZING, and crazy inexpensive through Hotels.com I will be back!!

Location is fantastic. Right in the water and next to a clean, beautiful, safe, quiet park. Note it is near airport so planes go by but they didn’t bother us in the room. Hotel is older but our room was newly redone and clean.
