All the employees were very friendly and kind. I love the location. It’s a little quieter and out-of-the-way. Would stay here again for sure.

Pros (+) The staff was friendly, the views are great... try to get a second floor water front even if it’s a bit more price wise. Beds are comfortable, lots of pillows. The room we stayed in had a king sized bed, had a mini fridge and a microwave. We would definitely recommend to friends and family!
