A property with great potential considering the location, the cozy marina and surroundings. I'm sure it's going to be more attractive after all the constructions and updates are done. An included breakfast would be perfect considering the fees. It would significantly help to be offered starting 6 am for the guests who are booking a morning cruise. Overall, a nice place with friendly staff.

We stayed during phase 3 of construction on the resort - it looks like it's going to be a great addition, however nowhere did it state that we'd be staying in a construction zone. Would have been nice to know beforehand, would have stayed elsewhere instead.

The hotel and hotel staff were great! We went with some friends to see a band playing at their pavilion. The people were friendly, and the drinks were served quickly, but the food took forever. It took more than an hour to get the service of a BLT and fries. Drinks=fast, food=too slow. Eat before you get there,

The room was clean. The lobby had a musty odor. When you opened the door to your room, you had to really push because the bottom of the door was stuck on the carpet. Therefore, there was carpet in the room and the door would not close automatically behind you. The outside bar was limited on mixed drinks, and the food for breakfast was served on disposable plates and glasses(all plastic including tableware).

The carpets were filthy in our room. I took a shower, walked into the bedroom to dress, qnd then had to go back into the bathroom and rewash my feet before putting on my shoes. And when I washed my feet, the wash rag was filthy black. Also, the room felt damp and clammy all the time. When we went to bed, the sheets actually felt clammy and very uncomfortable until our body heat warmed them up. It definitely needed a new A/C unit and potentially a dehumidifier. Also, there was so much construction, you could hardly find the entrance. I will say the staff was very nice and friendly.
