It was a nice inn but I had an issue with a dirty bed sheet & it took the night employee 3 tries to get me the right sheet & we had to make the bed ourselves. That’s the only reason I rated it like I did. The people I interacted with at the front desk just seemed new and not too knowledgeable.

The room we stayed in was spacious, equipped with everything someone could wish for while away from home. The rate included parking, hot breakfast buffet and large , private, furnished balcony, which was amazing. Located just feet away from the marina and restaurants, a 7 Eleven just 50 ft and also a supermarket close by. We absolutely loved everything about this hotel.
