A horrible, expensive experience.
Pros:

Nothing. It was very disappointing.

Cons:

The property was very small and felt like an expensive motel than a resort. I have been seeing their rooms for a long time and couldn’t afford going there due to high prices. When we decided after a long time to take time off and I saw the price (even though it was still higher than other places) I decided to book that hotel. It said mariene view and I thought that is what I have been seeing, which is the side to bay. But unfortunately it was a small mariene view. People were walking by our door and window all night, very loud foot noise (due to the hotel being very old) and the door didn’t feel safe. Then the heater was so old and loud, had to turn it off middle of the night. It got so cold. The covers were so thin. They charged us additional 20$ resort fee. Nothing special at that resort that we could use. One pool was closed, due to maintenance. Had to pay $35 parking fee as well. All in all very bad experience. We stayed at the other resort across the street and was a great experience.
