Found this place last year after staying at other hotels in Port A and I can say the rooms are big with comfy beds, awesome AC and their continental breakfast is really good, lots to choose from. Parking can be short and tight if the hotel is fully booked but overall have not had any issues once staying at this hotel. Staff are cordial. Have not tried the bar but I hear its nice. Will stay here again.
Hands down the best hotel at the coast!!! They even have their own bar with happy hour. My daughter left sentimental items and the room. Staff collected them and held them till I was able to come back and pick them up. Great spot!
The overnight staff was excellent! I wish I had gotten her name! The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. I wish they had a pool or hot tub! The coffee and breakfast were always wonderful.
The location was very convenient. The staff were courteous and helpful. The room itself was amazing! Very comfortable beds, beautiful view, and the kitchenette was equipped with all the necessities.
Construction going on around hotel. Hallway in front of room constantly had air blower on drying out carpet (probably due to leak), smelled of mold. Breakfast was a bust. What they don't tell you is breakfast is muffins, bagels, bananas, small, boxed cereal. Walls were paper thin and you could hear a toddler in one of the rooms throwing a fit around 4 a.m. Staff was very accommodating, allowed us on first floor due to my cancer.
