Sailport Waterfront Suites
Hotel room look like it had been updated very nice and clean. Only thing that I would say is they could use a new couch. It looks pretty worn other than that. It’s a great hotel.

Happy Travelers RV Resort
room was clean, and place was really nice. Only thing I didn't like was the online check in was having problems and the lady at the office had to email someone to make the online work, so it took a while. But other than that it was a great place.
