adequate stay

great location helpful staff fitness amenities friendly staff outdated rooms slight dinginess lobby seating
i appreciated the hotel's location. it was close to many attractions on the island. the staff seemed quite friendly and helpful to me. the fitness amenities were also a plus.
the rooms looked somewhat outdated to me. i noticed a slight dinginess in the decor. the lobby lacked a comfortable common seating area. i really needed that, it was a problem.

fantastic stay on the island

helpful staff unique charm
the staff were really friendly and helpful with directions to local attractions. they also extended parking for my mom, that helped a lot. the atmosphere near the water added a unique charm to my time at the hotel.
The room felt a bit outdated for the price i paid. It could use some modernization. the restaurant was also empty during the evening, so it lacked a lively ambiance.
