I don’t write reviews but I am because I was very conflicted when booking my stay at the Marina because the reviews. I read lots of complaints about noise from boats, sunlight disturbing sleep, and outdated rooms. I was nervous to stay here imagining I’d be wide awake at 4am in a gross hotel room. From a middle class perspective ( not expecting the Ritz) our stay was great. The continental breakfast was minimal but the staff was quick to say, bring whatever you want to your room. Our kids snacked on breakfast sandwiches and muffins throughout our stay thanks to the continental bfast, we had fresh coffee each morning, without paying $15 daily per person at most other hotels in the area or restaurants. The rooms are old, our shower did look so so BUT water pressure was superb. Our room had a full length sliding glass door that we opened by 9am each day to enjoy coffee and get ready with the ocean breeze each day. That alone made our room worth it. The boats did not keep us up, the sun wasn’t too bright to sleep, and the path surrounding the location was awesome, we saw at least 20 sharks and 3 manatees. Skippers had great food!!!! And there is another bar next door on the opposite side with bands, pool table, open till 4am if you want some night life. I would go back in a heartbeat.
