Overall, great stay. Clean, lots of room, pool was open during construction, and location was excellent for walking the area. Reason for not giving a 5-star is due to construction not all amenities were open, and we had a sliver of a view of the harbor. The listing stated view not guarenteed, but a view would have definitely made it a 5 star experience. We would gladly stay here again!

Had a great ocean front stay for two nights in a 2 bedroom unit. It was fantastic! Beds were super comfortable l. The units were very clean and fresh. Would most definitely stay again! What a view. The hotel staff were all so pleasant and helpful. I only have one complaint that the unit we had the heating vents were not functioning correctly. The master bedroom was freezing and the twin room at the other end of the unit was hot while sleeping.
