Morgan

Disliked: Cleanliness
Great location across from the bay with a public park for beach access, hotel has a pool but limited hours of operation closing at 8. Rooms were good for family of 5 but beds were not comfortable and the floors were filthy. Otherwise a decent place, but we will go elsewhere for our next visit.
Towels used to clean nasty floors.

Would stay again

The stay was amazing. I had called earlier in the day to make sure our reservation was good and had told the nice lady on the phone that it was our 10 year wedding anniversary. She went out of her way to make sure there was a cake in our room! Either way I lived it. I got the queen suite and was nice cozy and clean!
