10/10 Excellent
"Great location, room, and ammenties. Deer roam around the property which is very nice to see while walking to the pool or having a dinner. It was very sweet as well that they gave me two complimentary desserts as it was a birthday trip. Unfortunately some inconsistent service at their restaurant and FOH. Seated and left for 30 minutes on one occasion when there was only 3 other parties at the restaurant, I had to go and find someone inside. Also charges not listed at check-in, my card was just charged during the night and had to get them to explain what for the next day. Parking was also an issue, the hotel was used for a conference on my second day which meant the spaces were all taken, I am not sure why conference attendees are not required to park in specific areas. The valet was good though and gave us complimentary valet parking for the night."

"Great location, ten minute walk to wharf and beach boardwalk. Competitively priced, very basic but comfortable hotel rooms. Nice pool with two jacuzzi hot tubs, lounge chairs, tables with umbrellas. Self parking on site, breakfast cafe and deli across the street, with taco bar a block away. We enjoyed our stay in this quiet neighborhood and found everything we needed close by."
