The location of the hotel was excellent. Just off of Hwy.132, close to the ferry and right on the river. It was easy to walk to the beach directly from the room. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The early check-in was greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, the room was in need of an update. The room was dark and dingy. Not inviting at all. The furniture old and worn. The bed uncomfortable. There was no air conditioning. The latch on the sliding screen was broken, so keeping the slider open was not an option. Although there was outdoor space, the advertised "balcony" was not private at all. Other patrons used the space as a walkway, walking directly in front of you as you sat outside your room and directly in front of your room, so privacy and securement was an issue. Although the location was convenient and the vistas beautiful, we would not recommend or stay here again.
