It was OK. I don’t think I’ll be staying here again.
Pros:

I think that this place gets away with charging so much money even though the accommodations are not great. The bed is super uncomfortable. I like that it’s close to the water.

Cons:

The beds have a lot of stains on the sheets and they’re like a rock. They’re super uncomfortable.

Wouldn’t go back
Pros:

Location was good

Cons:

Old, tired and parts of it dirty. Bed was uncomfortable and no aircon. I wouldn’t recommend staying there when many better places might be a little more expensive. I booked for 2 nights and stayed just the 1

It was alright.
Pros:

Stayed in room 109 . We had a good experience. Beautifully made beds , a lot of space, good air conditioning, loved the two beds & the amount of pillows was more than enough. The bathroom could use a little more cleaning…

Cons:

The bathtub had mold in the jets, my girlfriend tried turning them on and the mold was just spewing out black mold. She repeated those steps twice and mold was still coming out. Some form of refund would be nice, the pictures are from videos taken from the bathroom.

Pros:

Great location and a lovely simple breakfast. Appreciated the bike rental choice.

Cons:

Our room was not the cleanest, needed updating. We felt we were stuck in a space that was an afterthought. Maybe it was because there were more than 2 of us? We were not in the main building but across the street.
