The check in was easy, the staff were friendly and efficient. It was easy to park near our room. The room was very clean and the view overlooking the marina was excellent. The only part I really have to complain about is the lighting in the room was uniformly a glaring cold white hue which made it seem more like a laboratory than a hotel room.

The rates per night. They're outrageous, also, the charges for parking. I requested a receipt when checking out. They said I would not get one until the third party would send it to me. I've stayed there twice in the past. Each time the rates go up higher and higher when there are hotels in the area that are much cheaper. I don't feel I will be staying there again. I am still waiting for my receipt.

1) Only 1/2 the light fixtures worked - 2) had to buy new batteries for tv remote- 3) shower over flowed and would not drain- we stayed at this hotel about 2 years ago and they said they were "Replumbing" the property as it had the same problem then ...LOL 2 years later the second floor is still have the backed up shower so you stand in the sewer water from the last person! 4) The "breakfast buffet" eggs sausage were cold - not even warm to the touch. 5) they claim to have a pool & Jacuzzi but you have to drive a different hotel down the street - 1/4 mile away!!! 6) they don't change sheets or bring fresh DRY towels each day- that's ok - BUT when we asked the maid for dry towels you would have thought we were asking for her pay-check! All in All the worst Hotel experience I have had in many years!

We really enjoyed our stay! love the fact that it was a full breakfast! Great selections of eggs, sausage, bacon, pancakes, cinnamon rolls, bagels and more! We'll be back! We also love that we could just walk right over to the harbor to see the beautiful boats. Everyone in the area was so nice and what can I say about the staff? Everybody was amazing so helpful. We also love the gift bag that we received when we checked in. Nice touch! Thank you so much for your warm hospitality. You really made us feel comfortable.

I stay here every summer and this year I see a noticeable difference from last. The daily breakfast which is a big part of why we stay had numerous elements that were either not working (pancake machine) or not offered. Also I had booked a room with a view that I thought had a patio since all the rooms I had seen on either the view or no view side did have one. Room did not have a patio and I was told that was because I booked a room bay windows instead. Ok, that is my mistake but the problem was the room they gave me did not have bay windows. So no patio and no big windows for the water view. I switched to a room with no view to be able to have a patio. Rooms are large and comfy, but the carpet was stained in several places. For $300 a night I expect more.
