8/10 Good
"The staff was friendly and helpful at all times-hotel is conveniently located on the water, close to restaurants, docks and stores. Rooms are clean but dated. The hotel could use a serious update inside and out. One elevator wasn't working when we got there and I saw no signs of it working when we left. That said, beds were comfortable, carpet was nice, the microwave was suspect and the outlets next to the kitchenettes were not working. Our room was dim even though we had 2 big windows in a suite-it was difficult to apply makeup and get dressed. There's plenty of parking and I always felt safe on the grounds. Breakfast is mediocre."
