Property has a lovely view of the marina. The menu selection at the Panorama was good but everything was extra. The wait staff were courteous and professional. The rooms were clean. The bed was a bit stiff for my liking. Room was quiet.

We were very disappointed. We were there for less than 8 hours and only wanted a good nights sleep and a shower before catching our flight. We only got half of that. They shut the water off overnight to do some repairs and didn't offer any compensation.

The harbor view was the best thing about this hotel. There was no hand soap in bathroom when we entered room. We had to ask for more towels, coffee, cups, creamer and sugar. The Wifi was not working during the stay. These little things were just annoying. When we ask for the items, the staff brought them quickly but not having enough items in the room just gave a bad vibe
