7.6/10 Good! (139 reviews)

The room was in good condition. Half the staff was ok, and half were just downright rude. The $40 daily for parking is kind of ridiculous too many added fees. The breakfast items were not good. Dinner at the bar was excellent with excellent service.

This hotel is AMAZING. Check in was easy and fast. The room was beautifully decorated and the hotel grounds were immaculate. I loved the smores and all the fires around the property. I also appreciated the free bike use-we ride all down the beach, wharf and marina! I would 100% stay here again!
