Room was decent, TV was older model and on small side, hot tub area had very little lighting, breakfast selection was fair. Staff was very courteous And helpful but we had to wait at front desk for a staff member to return anytime we made a purchase and for check in
It had hot water. Unlike a different hotel I chose last year. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. I would definitely consider staying here again.
It's a great place to visit the islands in the north. We always felt comfortable there. The staff was helpful. Even though there was a shortage of staff. The people there did everything they could to help us.
Great stay. Was accommodating to letting us take bicycles to our room. We had a bay view that was awesome... great customer services and plenty of food for breakfast.. great location too..
