The hotel is under construction so that made things a bit complicated. But the room was nice and spacious and clean. The continental breakfast was terrible. The lady working the breakfast was…well she made us feel a bit uncomfortable. She was constantly rushing around the room and hovering over us. It made us feel like we were being watched and about to be scolded or something. The pool area felt dated and small but did the job. Just seemed a bit pricey for what we got. I’ve gotten high class beach side hotel rooms for this price. Not a lot of options in the area so I think we will be returning for an event in the future.

We arrived to a construction zone. The hotel smelled of paint chemicals. Main lobby was closed. We were not made aware of this when booking our room of course. Also their water pressure was terrible. The shower would go from hot to freezing cold. Perfect for cold plunges. Ha Ha Ha And this happened in all 3 rooms we had rented. I am very disappointed especially with what we paid. Would recommend staying somewhere else

Breakfast was good. Good value for the price. A little skimpy on towels (none at pool, three in room). They’re mid renovations so will see how it is after. Will definitely stay again.

Staff great, bfast good, outdoor pool and hot tub great. Easy to walk downtown! Only complaint, you can hear the neighbors tv next to your room, annoying when your trying to sleep and it’s still going into wee hours. Paper thin walls I guess!
