Heating and AC worked fine. Bed was comfortable. Three chairs in the room. Had refrigerator and microwave oven that worked. Our room had a bay window that my wife really liked. Bring water unless you want to use tapwater. Shower was nice. Our room had a charger for a cell phone.

The hotel room was clean and check in was easy. My only complaint was the mattress was too firm. Iike that the hotel is close to several restaurants and the harbor.

Loved our room. Newly remodeled and very cute. I really liked that there was plenty of lighting. Especially the bathroom lighting. The refrigerator was not working in our room. The property was less than 5 minutes from the harbor which had several good restaurants. We were very happy with it overall. Plenty of parking and it was free.

We stayed in a double queen room on the second floor, which was very clean and spacious. The bathroom was a nice size for 2 people. The down side for us was there is no elevator so you have to carry your luggage, which is not bad if you arent carrying a lot. Also, one of our windows was broken so we couldn't open it to get the nice cool ocean breeze. The water pressure in the shower was also not very strong. The hotel is very walkable to restaurant which was great. The lobby does close so bare that in mind for late check-in. Would stay here again.

Halfmoon bay trip

Nice location, room was very nice. I would have preferred an upstairs room so we could open the window at night but we booked at the last minute.
