Great hotel in a great location right on the water. The hotel’s restaurant is also very good with a great oyster selection and view. Absolutely would come back! The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating— especially when it came to navigating parking in the busy lot! Only one small comment: the air conditioner in room 3 sounds like a jet engine, but it did keep the room nice and cold!!

I loved the location and the staff was excellent. Continental breakfast was good and we ate at their restaurant the first night and that was very good. Staff were wonderful throughout the whole stay. We were celebrating my birthday and cookies and bottle of wine waiting in my room, which was a nice surprise. Property is older but very clean and well kept up.
