This is an immaculately clean hotel with beautifully kept flowers and plants and private access to a prime stretch of beach on Eagle Harbor. The staff was so helpful and responded to anything we needed. Everything worked in the spacious room which had a nice sized refrigerator, good microwave and excellent heat and cooling systems.

"I enjoyed my stay here. The lobby and room were both clean and inviting. I didn’t use the pool but lots of others were enjoying it. Two minor concerns: Arriving after dark, I found the sign difficult to see and had to retrace my path; I was also given an “accessible” room which left very little counter space in the bathroom and didn’t have a lid on the toilet. Both small but annoying features which I’m sure are good for wheelchairs, but not so much for me. I’d recommend it though!"
