This hotel is a gem! We were greeted by the most welcoming and polite reception host. She assigned us a lovely room and guided us to hot spots in the area. The hotel is very clean. The restaurant offers delicious food and a variety of drinks. Not to mention great service by everyone. Will definitely return!

Nice....but not full service hotel

Nice...but buyer beware....the suite we order Rm 400 was nice, but it was detached from the main building, with a front desk that leaves at 4pm. None of this is related in the hotels.com site. We luckily arrived at 3:45pm but the front desk person was packing up to leave. If we would have arrived at 4:30 we would have gone to the "sister" hotel 2 miles done the road to check in. No hotel services....if you need an extra amenity after 4pm...no luck.

Nice, but not quiet

They put us in the part of the hotel that is across the bridge, so if you’re in the main building, this may not apply to you. The room was big and clean. But it was so noisy! You could hear and feel every time the ship below opened and closed the door. You could also hear every conversation held by people walking by. The parking lot is right there, so late at night you could hear cars with loud radios. And, we were lucky enough to be there on trash day, so we were woken up at 6 am by the loud and idling garbage truck. I would imagine that you can avoid all of these problems if you are in the main part of the inn.
