Convenient location, but the hotel is a little threadbare and the amenities, such as a limited breakfast selection and the lack of a coffee maker in the room, are just average. One shelf of the refrigerator was broken, making the refrigerator of limited use.

Very basic and dated hotel. Sufficient for sleeping before fishing or cruise activities. 2 doors down from good restaurant. No USB outlets in room…would be a great idea to switch out lamps with ones that have USB ports.

Excellent Service

The hotel is older and the beds aren't very comfortable, the water pressure was assaulting, and the shower head was hard to move to get away from the pressure. But the customer service was excellent and the staff was very friendly! They let us check in early, which was very appreciated after we had spent the previous night in a dry cabin, and it was a decent place to stay for the price. If you're used to luxury, this is not the hotel for you. But if your looking for something more accommodating than a dry cabin, this is just fine. I would stay here again.
