It was excellent to have a kitchen, a separate bedroom, and a great mattress for goid sleeping. Very nice towels and amenities in bathroom. Enjoyed the view of a nearby marina and island. Very friendly staff. Sofa was worn and had saggy, uncomfortable cushions. Otherwise a great room and we definitely would return.

We stayed in the cottage at the Buccaneer Inn and were pleasantly surprised by how spacious and comfortable it was. Even with just one night, it felt welcoming, and we’d gladly come back for a longer stay

Great option

Hotel room was spacious. Had a kitchenette and a comfy bed. Was very clean and comfortable. Only downside if any is that the rooms don’t have air conditioning ( they do have fans in the rooms ) and the parking is a little tight. But would recommend if staying around town.
