Checking in was really easy and the staff is very friendly. Room was alright some small improvements would be better bed, if they would clean the spider webs around the balcony, and the water had a very harsh metal smell. If you are only staying for a few days don't shy away.

Staff was friendly. Property was quiet at night but not much around without driving. There isnt room service which is listed, both restaurants are closed. Property is kind of old, but clean. Great place for the price.

Loved the property being right on the water.Room was nice and clean..Slight patch work above our toilet in the ceiling was dripping..The vacant property next door would be a great hall as a suggestion.Unfortunately the bar and grill on the lower level of the hotel was closed from covid.Would love to see that reopen possibly..Marina was very nice also..Altho some docks are in need of repair.All together still enjoyed this place.

The Waterfront hotel and Marina was obviously not a brand new property, but it was well maintained, clean, and very conveniently located for my purposes. There were plenty of nearby places to eat (or shop, if that's what was important). I'd consider returning if I ever go back to that area again.
