Staff was friendly and accommodating. The views of the bay from our patio was exquisite but I wish they had high-top chairs to see above the patio rail. The room was in need of renovation, especially the kitchenette area.

This place is wonderful. You can walk to all the restaurants, live music, or sweet treats. The access to the bay is top notch. Paddle board right out from your room! The whole room is clean, view is wonderful (bay side) the pool is refreshing yet warm and clean. Be prepared for some beautiful sunsets! Two things: no elevator so if stairs are a concern request ground floor and bring bug spray for at night the little guys will nip you up.

Nice pool, nice staff, nice location on bay. However our room had no outdoor seating at all. We were poolside, so we were not expecting a view of the bay, but all we had was a single chair and a view of other people’s outdoor seating. Rooms were also very dated. Beds were fine though.

Love the location on the Bay. 1 block to restaurants and bars,2 blocks to beach. Kayak rental available. Pretty grounds with a gazebo and pier. However, front desk people wererude and not helpful when I asked about charges. Also they wanted a $75 fee to check in 1 hour early. Now dog friendly. I love dogs but the one in the room next to me barked all night. Have been staying here for the last 5 summers but can see things slowly going downhill. Honestly not sure if i will go back next summer
