Wayne, Feb 2019
Pros (+) The staff was excellent. They were great to interact with. The breakfast was very good, better than most hotels. The bed was comfortable. Great location, across the street from the marina and a short walk to the beach, pier and restaurants. Marina view room had balcony with view. Great sunrise in the morning.
Cons (-) Carpet seemed a little dated. An older hotel that they are working to update. Very few outlets, although the bedside lamps each had a USB port.
