    Nice updated hotel.. nice location.. nice customer service...walking distance to very nice restaurants .. less than 6 miles to beaches...overall stay was great! This hotel needs a higher rating because of location and attractions in walking distance.. hotel is also kids friendly, we were able to sit on our balcony and was the yachts, boats, and pontoons exit the bay which was so relaxing and exciting. I’ve read other reviews about this place and I honestly don’t see why others rated so low.. we usually book 4-5 star hotel but this hotel is just as nice... we usually ask for a higher floor but we came to realize 1st floor room 118 actually had the best views of the bay. Theirs no hotel that’s perfect but this hotel is in the prefect location🥰

    NOT family -friendly We booked a room for 3 nights and it was $50, which we really thought was a steal. Turns out, we couldn’t be farther from the truth. First off, the building is very dilapidated from the outside. The first thing I noticed was how many people were out on their balconies smoking cigarettes. On our way up to our room, there were people yelling and screaming; also kids running up and down the halls. When we got on the elevator, the stench of cigarette smoke and urine hit us like a train. I’m actually surprised the elevator still works. The first thing we saw in our room was a broken window. Not a good first impression. Also, a side note, our room wasn’t even ready by the time we arrived. Once we walked in, the interior actually didn’t look too bad. Surprisingly, the inside wasn’t too dirty. There were however cigarette burns in the sheets and hair in the tub when we did our first walkthrough. No do not disturb signs, no trash can, and we had to turn our towels in to get another one. One for one. The pool was straight up green and I had seen on a different review that other people had swam in the pool weeks prior to our stay. I highly doubt it. The bathtub had a constant drip. The paint was chipping from the bottom of the tub. Also, the sink wouldn’t drain. One night, we were woken up twice by one person who was a door dash delivery person. They were looking for someone else and because of that, I didn’t get sleep. Also, another person came by our room with two cases of beer and said, “oops, sorry wrong room.” Needless to say, we didn’t sleep well at all that night. The only thing I can say was relatively good was the AC unit. It worked great. The other positive was the hardwood floors were easy to pick stuff off of. However, we did notice that there were big craters in the parking lot that could easily damage a car. Also, the only way to talk to anybody is outside through a tellers window. It truly felt like a college dorm where everyone is running around and laughing/screaming. The constant smell of cigarettes and weed was so strong. The people working here are good and nice, but the management is very, very poor. When we asked for a discount or refund of any sort, we were flat out told “No.” Overall, such a bad experience. DO NOT STAY HERE.

    Great place to stay. Older hotel nicely updated. Our room needed more lighting. Super nice reception. Beer and wine at hotel. Beautiful view of the bay. There's a dock for your boat and it's close to everything. We would definitely come back.

    The hotel itself is a little dated, but overall a very nice hotel to stay at. Our room was clean, we had an awesome view of the harbor, and the staff were absolutely wonderful. Everyone was so nice and went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our stay. We would definitely stay again. Just because the hotel is a little less modern than others, we didn't think that made it any less enjoyable.

    Great location! The staff were amazing, everyone is so nice. I got greeted as soon as i walked in, the hotel was so clean!!! The view was beautiful, i got a room on the water, and the price was reasonable! The bed was so comfortable. They also have breakfast, and a HUGE pool. I will be coming back!

    We stayed last night. Manager on duty was very nice. When we got into room the toilet seat was not on all the way, sink faucet was loose and the tub faucet was hanging off the wall. The beds were comfortable, though only had 2 sheets and no comforter. All in all, if have kids I DO NOT recommend, but for yourself it's ok. You get what you pay for.

    We actually enjoyed it here. Rooms and building is clean. Beds are comfy. Staff is super nice. Restaurants nearby are good. We stayed 2 nights (1 w/ waterfront view 1 w/ city front) waterfront view is spectacular. We literally woke up to this beautiful crystal blue view of a yacht just passing by the sun rose. The water view from the lobby is EPIC. The pool is nice with amazing views of the harbor (no hot tub) there are 4 really cool white chairs on the deck that allow for perfect relaxing and watching the boats. There is a little mini private beach area that my son & dog loved playing at. Boat taxis will take you to the larger public beaches. Everyone is really friendly, entire staff had phenomenal customer service. As mentioned in other reviews it is an older building. Our 2nd room wasn’t as great as the 1st even had a smaller TV (lol) but overall great stay and We would stay here again.

    I absolutely loved staying here! The whole staff was welcoming and super sweet. The place was very clean and I had nothing to complain about whatsoever. When we checked out, Jeannie Scott (the GM) offered to take a picture of my boyfriend and I. We hadn’t had a single picture the whole trip of just us so it meant a lot!! She was super sweet and truly loves her job. I will definitely be back and I can not wait for the next trip!

    Trees in pool, caution tape on door handle, no toilet paper, tv mount with no tv, hole in bathroom door, and MANY Cockroaches! Run away from here. Disgusting!

    I just went to visit a friend and his room was horrible. Roaches were everywhere and it had holes in the wall I really don't know how they got there it looked like mold had eaten the drywall between the bathroom and the place where the sink was. The friend of mine staying there liked the price but it wasn't consistent. 45 a night then 55 . I don't think I would pay 25 .

    We enjoyed our stay for our anniversary trip. It is an older building. Vending machines were kind of empty. Shower didn't have much water pressure and the bed was real rickety. Greats views when the weather isn't gloomy. Great location. Within walking distance to Harborwalk Village.

    We loved it! Everything was great. Service was awesome. Rooms were nice. Location is great. Parking could have been better but not huge deal

  • 4/5 Michael M. 3 years ago on Google
    The location & view were great. Its a standard hotel so dont expect too much but again water view is worth the up charge. The front desk staff was great & very accommodating to my questions & travel needs. I would recommend the place knowing its not a luxury hotel.

  • 4/5 Tommy A. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice smaller hotel at a reasonable price. Property is older, but they have done a lot of upgrades and remodeling to make the property as nice as possible. Everything was very clean and the desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Great property for the price.

  • 4/5 C3C3 3 years ago on Google
    Very clean and friendly staff. It's been recently remodeled. Breakfast was "grab*n*go. We booked online but did not check in until after 10pm. We unfortunately did not get a room with a view towards the Harbor, but a view to the small full parking lot... Lol.

  • 5/5 I R. 3 years ago on Google
    Pleasantly surprised. Needed an overnight stay with our dog and with limited options was a little apprehensive about staying here based on some of the reviews but was pleasantly surprised that the property was nicer than expected, clean and safe. Nice rooms with a gorgeous Harbour view, lovely pool and helpful staff. Would definitely stay here again!
