Great area and good view. But one of the people who stayed in the hotel with me got 4 bed bug bites. Place seemed clean but the bites are very noticeable and extremely itchy.

Book an airbnb instead

My sister's and I have stayed at the hotel before but this will likely be our last time. I was assured a late check in was no problem, but had a very unpleasant check in experience. The cost of the hotel does not allign with the condition of the rooms. We had no hot water when we attemped to shower ar 11am, were assured it was a hot water heater issue that was fixed but by 6pm still were unable to take a hot shower. The initial solution was to be offered a separate room to shower in rather than being moved. We eventually were given another room with fully functioning amenities. The temperature controls on the heater in the new room did not work properly. Even set at 65 at night we woke up miserable because it wouldnt stop and had to be at least 80.

The hotel is not brand new but in good condition. It has a beautiful view of the water. The staff was friendly. My room was clean with no issues. I was a little concerned reading others reviews but did not encounter anything negative and everything was clean.
