Loved the water front view and location, lots of stuff within walking distance. The room could have been cleaner. Bathroom/shower was tiny. Hot water lasted all of 5 minutes. Minimal breakfast selection (packaged muffins/donuts)

Old motel. Needs updating. Room was clean but the bed was terrible. Close to many good ammenities. But it is not worth the price. Room was so small you couldn't sit at the table and work. The staff was nice. good location. No soap, shampoo or coffee in the room. Out dated and the wifi was not good.
