What guests say

Reviews most consistently highlight friendly, helpful staff and enjoyable food as standout strengths. Water views are also singled out as a memorable feature. A negative account notes room condition issues (including a bathroom drain problem) and raises a serious concern about someone entering a locked room during the night. Overall sentiment skews positive, but the small review set includes an important safety-related complaint to weigh.
