The hotel room was small and not the cleanest, reminding me of a nursing home, but it met our basic needs. The service was welcoming and friendly, although not very informative at times. The location was perfect, between both piers, offering a unique experience to watch the world go by. The dining experience had some issues with cold plates and greasy food, but the buffet style had good quality options. Overall, a mixed experience with some room for improvement.
