The grease trap underneath the burners was pretty thick and a potential fire hazard. The patio can use better lighting. The base of tub needs a new bead of chalking. The Brita water pitcher is cracked on the bottom and leaked in the refrigerator. We washed the hammock that smelled like dog my wife said. All in all a very nice comfortable stay."

"Loved the pool and spa area. Did not love the street-facing ground floor rooms. Lights from cars entering the parking lot all night would shine into our eyes while on the patio or straight into our room. Blackout curtains helped, but there are always cracks around the edges. Not a dealbreaker, but something to be aware of. Highly recommend springing for a marina view room instead."
