Good location and parking on-site. Close to restaurants and shopping at the marina. Property could use a refresh, especially the carpets which were very dirty in the public areas. Please clean the elevator shafts as they are disgusting. Do not swim in the pool. I saw 10 seagulls swimming in the pool in the early morning. Very good staff at front desk and at bar.
