The property advertises their room rates in a deceptive way. WHat you see is not what you've booked. Once you book you get a resort fee added on, $30. This place is not a resort in any way. They have a great location if you want to see water but they have no resort amenities like a restaurant or bar. The rest of the hotel is no better than a Holiday Inn. Their offered breakfast is absolutely horrible. There was not enough food available for even a mouse to stay alive. They had a bowl of boiled eggs and one half eaten community blueberry coffee cake on a cake dish. That's not the end. Also when you arrive they charge you an amenities fee of nearly another $30. What the heck is that for? Show me the amenities please... This place is a joke!
