I would not advertise this as water front. It’s not.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Misleading marketing.
It said ocean view but the view is a mile away from the water

Amazing area, decent hotel..
Pros:

Located in a beautiful area over looking the bay.

Cons:

Room needs major work...Bugs on the ceiling dead in the bathroom, screw holes present in the bedroom from what looks like prior blinds. Stickers on the wall are peeling..

Pros:

I didn't check out the pool or breakfast, but we had a nice ocean view room. Beds were very comfortable! It was close enough to downtown but in a quiet area. We would stay again! Nothing fancy, but perfect for us!

Cons:

I do wish they offered a late check out option.

Fabulous location and great views, just needed a few more amenities to make it perfect!!
Pros:

Great location, very clean and great view!!

Cons:

No coffee pot in room. Had to walk up to the main office to get coffee. No fan in bathroom so condensation from taking showers was pretty high.

The view was very nice, but accommodations could be better maintained
Pros:

Liked that it was first floor easy to get the luggage in, & the view was beautiful, good breakfast

Cons:

Very noisy, kids running back-and-forth the entire time we were there, you could hear everything, also we felt like it was a little pricey for the level of cleanliness and Comfort. Not top notch for price, not maintained, door lock broke, shower fixtures for soap broke
