The staff were all very nice and that’s why I’m giving this at least two stars, but the rest was pretty bad. From small things to having no conditioner in the shower, to a rotting deck that my foot pushed through, paper thin walls so we could hear everything from other rooms, an old, old fridge that was also loud, and a price that was way too high. I would not recommend staying here unless you’re completely stuck. Terrible night overall for us.

This is in an excellent location right by the water. Nice walking nearby and close enough to walk down the road for some nice restaurants. It's an older place that is well maintained and very clean. Have stayed there for many years and there are often improvements and upgrades from one year to the next. Reasonably priced.

It is across the street from a waterfront park. The room was clean and the little kitchenette was very functional. I will come again,.
