"This was a comfortable place to stay, and there were only a few things I would critique. As far as the critiques go, I wish this hotel had an elevator, or some way to get luggage around besides just having to carry luggage up the stairs! Otherwise I loved that the rooms had a deck, the sunsets were beautiful and there isn’t a bad view at the place! The hotel room was very clean, and bathrooms were in fine condition. Water pressure wasn’t the best. There also wasn’t a good way to keep the water...
