the front desk reception was able to fit me in and did so with politeness. i had fantastic views of the water. i took advantage of the spa services by getting a facial.

i stayed here in june 2024. the beds seemed more like double beds so i didn't sleep well. the sheets had some stains and i saw nail clippings on the rug. breakfast was disappointing. my husband's eggs were cold too.
