8/10 Good
"The Good: Rooms were clean and staff was very friendly and helpful. They are almost finished renovating the hotel. The Not So Good: Not sure what you get for your $30/day Resort Fee other than free parking. Pictures on line showed we were getting a walk in shower but we got a tub/shower combo instead. Harder for my wife to get in and out of but at least it wasn’t a deep tub. Also, description and pictures are deceiving. This is NOT a waterfront hotel. It’s actually a decent walk to the water."
