Booked a King, however the rooms with king beds were being remodeled. We were upgraded to a suite, which was very nice! The view from the balcony overlooking the water was beautiful and peaceful! The front desk staff were very nice and Samone in housekeeping was wonderful! The water pressure in the shower was perfect and the water was hot! The beds were comfortable and the rooms were nice and warm since it is November. We will definitely stay here again!

I loved being right on the waterfront and that it was walkable to the ferry. The guy who kept breakfast going was an extremely hard worker. The rooms were clean, on the second day we did have to call down to have our room serviced. I understand it was near the end of the season and they were short staffed.

The location is very nice and we loved the beach front area, the San was nice and the chairs were clean although some of the chairs needed to be replaced as they were broken. I had booked a lakeside view 2 queen room with pull out couch side area but they only gave us a 2 queen standard room and would not fix it. Our room had a fridge which was great but no microwave. We did like that the sink and vanity were apart from the bathroom, that was helpful.
