The rooms could’ve used a little bit more tender, loving care as far as it comes to Cleaning staff was nice and friendly, but it is an old hotel but it’s perfectly located convenient to restaurants to Harbour Beach. Good location.
I loved everything about my experience at the hotel the room was clean and comfortable, and I really enjoyed the amazing view from the balcony in my room
