Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, offering a nice view of the water, but the outdated electronics and noisy air conditioning unit were a letdown. The service was pleasant and hospitable, although there were difficulties getting transportation early in the morning. The location, while beautiful, had its drawbacks next to a freight rail line. The dining was satisfactory, and the facilities met expectations.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were comfortable with a nice, large bed, but they need a complete renovation from the carpet to the furnishings and bathroom. I found the room overlooking the highways, which made the temperature a very cold 65 degrees, and the air conditioning unit was very noisy. The service was very friendly and helpful, although it seemed like the hotel is reluctant to invest in renovations and quality control. The location was next to the highway, so there may be better places to stay. The dining experience included desserts, and the facilities were fine overall.
