Worth a Stay
Pros:

Staff very friendly. Location was great, right on the water. Nice little boxed breakfast. Nice touch.

Cons:

Walls rather thin. Could hear people. The room above us was very loud with very heavy feet. It was constant. That's not the hotel's fault.

Pros:

Always clean and staff is nice.

Cons:

Thought we were getting a King room with the tub but instead got a room that was barely big enough for the King bed. Very cramped. Usually our King rooms we get a spacious and have the jet tub. Still a very nice place to stay nonetheless.

Swap slept well and very close to where I had to have some minor ear surgery done so it worked out p
Pros:

I truly appreciated how the breakfast was delivered to the room. But at the same time, I think I’ll pass on breakfast and go out. Everything else was awesome.

Cons:

I truly enjoyed the petite cake room with a private balcony. Everything about the room was quite nice. Bathroom included no complaints and thank you.
