I have stayed here in the past and had fond memories. Unfortunately the place seems a bit run down since that time. As I visited in March in may be that they were just not ready for guests. I had to ask for the room phone to be connected and for some basic dishes and cookware for the kitchen. I had to move my car because they were power washing the building. The place is still in a pleasant and very convenient spot, and the staff were friendly and did their best. But if they were not ready for guests they should not be advertising. I doubt that I will return.

Big issue was multiple other guests smoking on the property which was supposed to be non-smoking. Management was great so no issues with the property itself other than the very outdated kitchenette.

Had a great stay. Loved sitting on our balcony overlooking the bay. What we did not like was smoking at the tables right outside the pool area & smoking on the patio below us.
