This place is just ok, yes it’s on the water but not exactly what I expected. Breakfast was great. Room was large. The room had a terrible smell, maybe time to rip out the carpet. We had the window open the entire time.

We have stayed at this hotel and liked it so we chose it for this trip. Upon arrival, we requested a quiet room because we needed to sleep well as we had to drive in the morning. The front desk clerk assured us that all their rooms were quiet and assigned us a room. The room was not quiet. There was machinery noise & vibration off & on all night.
