The hotel is going to be torn down at the end of the year so the management is not making any improvements. The location is very nice next to the harbor. The pool and hot tub are okay. The bed was nice but the room is barely functional.

This property is aged but, with that said the room and common areas very clean. The staff very friendly. The breakfast had some fresh fruit options like apples and bananas. There were some dry cereal selections and yogurt cups. Also fresh waffle batter so you could make your own waffles. Also fresh bread and a gel selections. Fresh coffee and juice too. Plenty of food.

We have stayed here previously and appreciate the location along the harbor and the ocean view. Rooms are clean, but some furniture is showing its age and needs to be replaced. For example, the vinyl arms on the desk chair were very cracked and one kept falling off the chair, and the wood underneath the fridge was falling apart. However, the room was a good value for a midweek stay, and the nearby restaurants are within walking distance. We will return again.

It is very apparent that this hotel is closing. There is much needed upgrades throughout the hotel and it doesn't appear that they will be upgrading prior to their close date. We used to really enjoy this place. The last 3 times we have been here there has been some sort of water leak adjacent to the breakfast room. Although we have enjoyed our 8 stays, we will not be back. Maybe when they rebuild it will be more suitable.
