decent stay near the water
clean room helpful staff continental selection water mark fully booked rude manager
the room was very clean. the staff was helpful. we loved the breakfast.. especially the fresh pastries. it had a very adequate continental selection.
i noticed a large water mark directly above the bed when we arrived. the hotel was fully booked, so a room swap happened with someone who hadn't checked in. i found the managers a bit rude and dismissive during this process.
