equipped kitchencomfortable bedsuper clean bathroom
The one-bedroom suite water front I booked had a lovely living room, kitchen, and bedroom. It was well equipped and generously sized (it really was like a home). A garage was available for parking my car, which i greatly appreciated. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was super clean.
The location is not super convenient to the main street. It required a short drive.

parking lot viewinconvenient location
The hotel did not meet my expectations regarding location. I thought I would have water views. Instead, my unit overlooked the parking lot and other units. I asked about moving to a room with a water view. I would have to pay for an extra night. I also felt the location was not particularly convenient to the main street.
