A great place for business or pleasure.
Pros:

The location is great, close to the airport, harbor and freeways. A comfortable room with a view of the bay and the city. In the morning it is great to walk or jog along the island. The in-house restaurant and bar, overlooking the marina, is good for meals all day or a relaxing drink with friends.

Cons:

The safe in the room did not work which was uncomfortable since we like to leave passports, etc. in the safe.

Hatte wohl die besten Zeiten vor Jahren.
Pros:

Die Lage und die Einrichtung ist toll.

Cons:

Abgewohnt und eine Sanierung wäre nötig.
Haare in der Badewanne und ein verstopfter Abfluss geht gar nicht 🤮.

beautiful romantic safe place
Pros:

the location is perfect, but you will need a car to get around. the view from the window facing the yacht club was so romantic. if you wanted to take a short walk and see the sunrise just walk through the front entrance and walk along the bay. very safe location feeles like home. a little restaurant on the first floor was very good. love the place

Cons:

i dont wish for anything else

The bathtub was extremely gross. I really wanted to take a hot bath, but that was an impossibility because of the slime
Pros:

I’m doubting if I’m gonna stay there again because of the slime in the bathtub. I let the lady know when I checked out and her only reply was oh, did you not call? I’m telling you now the least she could’ve done was apologized.
