This hotel had a family held feel. It was laid back which is to our taste. If you want to be pampered or have high end amenities look elsewhere, but if you want friendly, helpful staff a less fussy stay you’ll like it

The staff was great. There is no elevator! The room was very nice but the beds are tall. We will definitely stay again. There is only one chair in the room but they did let us borrow chairs from eating area to play cards with the kiddo. Everything was very clean. Beautiful area by the marina, if only the weather would have been better we would have loved to go walking down there.

This was a family vacation stay. The staff at the hotel were excellent. The hotel was very well maintained, clean, and perfect for families on the road. I would highly recommend this hotel and would gladly visit again if were lucky enough to be in the area.

Room was clean & neat, but a bit less than sparkling. Typical hotel mattress was pretty hard, wish ALL hotels would realize most of us don't tolerate such hard mattresses! But pillows were soft, fluffy & plentiful. Also, room was very hot, despite the heat being turned off, but we were able to open a window to cool it down. Kind of a typical small town "Mom & Pop" place. No breakfast or any amenities except coffee. However, the staff was delightful, friendly & caring. We had made an error in our reservation & they were more than helpful in accommodating us, so we wouldn't miss a special family event that we were specifically driving up for! That more than made up for the short-term lack of comfort.
