Our stay was great! The view is amazing and I loved that all of the rooms face the water. The room was so comfortable, and its in a great location. The only thing I rated less than 5 stars was the upkeep of the property itself, it could have used some landscaping/weed treatment and the bugs were so bad outside our room/on the property. Overall, it was great and we would definitely return!

Inside was nice and updated. Unfortunately because of LVP floors, sounds above echoed. Shower pressure was very low & hot water took forever. Ice machine didn’t work properly. Outside area needs work.

The room was perfect for what I needed. Large comfortable king bed, nicely updated. It was extremely convenient to get downtown if you have a car. Literally like 4 minutes. The owners are also very responsive to messages which was very nice! A couple of small complaints were the WiFi was not very good — could stream the tv off and on. Also the key code was broken and door was very hard to open/shut. I was told it would be fixed but it never was during my stay. Once the door is fixed, this is an absolute 10/10 stay!
