Disliked: Room comfort
The property and amenities were amazing at the location. Our room had a direct view of the bay, which made for some amazing sunsets. The room itself was extremely clean and well kept. The fireplace added nice warmth and ambience. The only complain both of us had was the bed. The mattress was absolutely terrible. Both of us woke up with extreme back pain and my fiancé hardly able to walk. I think what would make 5 stars across the board would be upgrading the mattress. That’s the only reason why a 1 out of 5 stars for comfort. The rest of the stay there was spectacular, especially the availability of in room massages.

Toilet ran all night, heater beeped all night, filter needed changing. Looks old, on the wrong side of the road for the bay. Also light by door way inside the room flickered all night. Not worth the price. At best, little better than a motel.

Property is conveniently located to restaurants and easy to get to. The only reason I don’t give it a 5 star review is for the following reasons. 1. The rooms provide an outdated coffee machine but no complementary water. 2. The bottom rooms are very noisy, not much in sound deadening, you can hear every flush of the toilet from the upstairs guests and the voices from the adjacent room. 3. The housekeepers supply room next to guests room makes for a noisy morning.

My husband and I enjoyed the unit and the stay. The only thing that disappointed us was the restaurant. We were hoping the Tides restaurant had great food, but it was very basic.
