Breakfast was good. Room was clean. Bathroom did not have shampoo and toiletries replaced so had to use soap which was not ideal. Good parking and next to Anchor Lodge - great food and hospitality - highly recommend. Good view of marina but too cold to benefit so worked out quite expensive compared to other options
