One of the front desk staff was rude but otherwise a nice and clean hotel room. They offer complimentary breakfast to your room which was a frozen Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich and an orange, which is not what we expected.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We really appreciated the ability to charge our EV. Finding a charging station is not as easy as finding a gas station, so this was very helpful. While the delivery of breakfast boxes was helpful, I missed the flexibility of the more typical breakfast bar, both as far as making food choices and pinpointing timing. The room was immaculate and spacious. I missed some area of rug space. We also noted what has become a trend, apparently, of duvets instead of blankets. Temperatures seemed about right to open windows, which we did, but the room stayed warm--too warm for a duvet, and not really comfortable for just a sheet. We object to being forced to turn on the A/C at what should be a comfortable temperature.

Just a std hotel on the water, nothing special. Noisy floors from room above, seemed cheap material when you hear foot steps every time they walked. Never stay there again
