It was clean, but dated room. Fixtures and furniture showed wear and tire. When my husband went to ask a question, the desk clerk was asleep and she didn't wake up. I thought the place was quiet. It was adequate for what we needed it for, but I would only stay one night.

The property needs renovation - especially the bathrooms. But the staff was very pleasant. All of the restaurants were closed at 9 pm - no food available. But it was reasonably clean and comfortable. The bed was very comfy!

Older property that needs some room updates. Clean and comfortable but seems to rely on the tourist location.

Location was good. Curtains did not keep light out. Bed needed a better mattress. Rust in bathroom areas. Sink fixture hard to turn on and off - needs to be replaced. Very small, thin towels.

Disliked: Staff & service
No front desk greeting or "enjoy your stay"! Just handed a key. Entered a room that felt like 90 degrees. Fortunately, the AC functioned, and after about 30 minutes we had a temp that we should have had when we walked in. There were no surface, hooks or rack in the shower area. Are guests supposed to put their towel or clothing...on the floor while showering? The bathroom door would not shut completely. The sink drain had a rusted out flange, chipped enamel and gunk. Judging from the thickness, of the bathroom towels, they must be World War ll surplus. Otherwise, given that our stay was a quick hitter, it did the job...barely.

Great customer Service and Location!

Great location right across form the marina and walking distance to lots of shops, restaurants and the ferry to Mac Island. We arrived super late after sailing across the lake and the staff made sure we could still check in even though their office was closed.
