Comfortable Stay Near the Marina

efficient assistancecomfortable cushionshigh fee
The front desk staff was very friendly and efficient. I appreciated their quick assistance at check-in (it made a great first impression). The room featured a big wardrobe and ample drawers. I also liked the garden chairs with comfortable cushions to sit on.
The parking fee was quite high, a significant unexpected expense. This detail detracted from an otherwise very enjoyable experience. I think the fee should be lowered or included in the room rate.

Balanced Stay

lovely groundsnice poolmusty smellflickering light
The hotel grounds are lovely. The pool is very nice. I especially liked the fire pits.
The first room we were given had a very strong musty smell! We were going to try to ignore it, open the windows and hope the odor would dissipate. The overhead ceiling fan light flickered three times and went out.
