The room was clean. The staff was prompt, professional, efficient and helpful. The king size bed was very comfortable. It is outdated but for the price, an excellent buy! They had a mini fridge and microwave. The TV was new and cable gave a lot of options.

The room was a good size and we had a view of the water which Is even nicer. When we went, there was construction happening literally outside our window, but with the sound proofing it wasn't as loud as it would be. If you're a heavy sleeper like my partner you will have no issues, if you're a light sleeper like me you might hear the occasional beeps of their equipment. I also lost one of our room keys and the receptionist was very nice in recoding the new keys and she told me not to worry about it.
