8/10 Good
"Overall good location. I prefer the bay side to the boat dock side. The rooms are larger and nicer. It was very annoying that they charge guest an added 6% to their checks if you eat at the Firefly restaurant. That’s so weird. Never seen that before. I would’ve eaten off property if I had known that ."
