The hotel rooms were larger than anticipated and had everything one could need for a comfortable stay, despite some issues with frayed carpets, peeling wallpaper, and an old smell lingering from the kitchen. The service started off friendly but turned cold after a concerning incident with a broken toilet seat. The location was great, adjacent to the Red Jet terminal and the marina, providing easy access. The dining experience was decent, with some minor disappointments like low-quality waffles. Overall, the facilities were sufficient for a basic stay.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The twin room we got was perfect, located at the top of the hotel, offering a quiet and cozy atmosphere despite being fully booked during a busy weekend. The room was comfortable, well-appointed, and had a nice wooden desk and a comfy bed. The only downside was the slightly challenging shower due to the hotel's age.
