Helpful on phone, quick checkin easy to get too.
Noise waver had to be signed but only for Friday and Saturday live bands in restaurant.

Staff was helpful and accommodated us for our late arrival. Placed us conveniently on ground level. Water pressure was lower than expected. Room was nice and roomy water lines needed to be flushed due to sand coming out at first turn on. Nice breakfast provided.

Fantastic harbor view, if you get that side.
Shower was terrible, water constantly changed from hot to cold, no exhaust fan.

Rooms were dark and dated, the bathrooms had no exhaust, moisture from showers and smells never left. City view is awful, harbor view, if you get it, is great. Breakfast was OK. The hallways were dark and smelled. Wireless internet was good and free.

The location was great. It was right next to the City Park and Historic District. Also located directly on the water. Beautiful sunsets!
The workout room was limited on equipment and there was no hot tub in the pool area.

We had an excellent time. We happened to be there on Halloween and were able to walk over the big bridge to play mini-golf and then come back to a community celebration in the historic district where all the huge beautiful homes were decorated and entire families were out dressed up and having a great time. They had blocked off the streets in a 4 or 5 block area and we felt very welcome as we walked around and took pictures. The park next door located on the water had three different local bands playing and this was very enjoyable as we were able to take a walk, listen to music and felt very safe. Very romantic area. The Hotel was nice and the employees were friendly but pretty much left you alone unless you needed something which was a good thing. It was myself and my husband and we wanted to have that private time and not have interruptions. The view from the hotel was awesome and again, the location was great. Having the restaurant and Tiki bar connected was a plus. The food was reasonable and very good. read more

Location.
The room did smell a little musty or stale.

Our over all stay was very nice. We do plan to stay again in the future but would like to have a choice of having a waterfront room.

Great location on water, easy in and out.
Non-water views are poor.

Decent hotel for short-stays. Room service and restaurant on site for convenience. Easy access to highway. Walk to downtown.
