Too expensive
Pros:

The view and the room bathroom was nice.

Cons:

Too expensive for being a glorified motel. I had to go to the first floor for ice. The room had a beautiful view but the room was smaller with no fridge and or a total $410 I dont recommend.

Great value and location
Pros:

Excellent location! Very nice to have a breakfast and free parking available. The pool was nice and the room was comfortable. We will definitely come back.

Cons:

One of the front desk staff acted very disinterested and didn't follow through with our request for additional supplies.

Also, they kept running out of pool towels.

Bad gas
Pros:

We like the fact that it was close to the train station.

Cons:

The bathroom did not have any type of exhaust fan in it on the first floor. This is not very good when you're with a girlfriend and you have to have a bell movement and the smell permeates in the bathroom and into the small bedroom. An exhaust fan and a bathroom should be mandatory most hotels have that no matter what floor you're on. I personally think this is just an excusable for a building that has been remodeled. Probably would not stay there again be just because of the embarrassment that it creates. Oh so the fan in the bathroom should have a least a medium decibel rating to drown out flagellation and bowel movements.. most likely will not stay there again just because of this.

Awesome place that we’ll definitely visit again.
Pros:

The location to the beach and wharf. Restaurants and eating places were all within walking distance. The room was very comfortable and clean with a huge shower. Free breakfast had lots of variety to choose from.

Cons:

The vending machine next to Room 115 was not stocked with ample soda choices. Only Coke and Diet Coke. Others were not available.

Bright, clean modern room
Pros:

Bright, clean more modern room. Good location and enjoyed a swim in the evening. Good value for money compared to other hotels we stayed in during our US trip.

Cons:

The staff member on reception could have been more welcoming and friendly. We have stayed in a number of hotels during our 3 week trip to the US and this was noticeable.
