9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, 628 reviews
"Very nice property and wonderful views! Staff was very pleasant though room was not ready at check-in time (after holiday weekend so we understand). Room nice and quiet, spacious and clean with beautiful balcony overlooking the water. Bathroom very small and they need to get rid of the old tub and put in a walk in shower. Beds very stiff - could use more comfortable mattresses. Continental breakfast very nice. Overall though we were very happy with our stay and would return again! "
