Hotel under construction...no restaurant, no pool bar, no nothing....do not waste your money...you cannot go by what it says on any of these "travel" site regarding the hotels...your best bet is to call the hotel directly and find out if the "amenities" that are listed really do exist...we stayed there May 22, 2013 and learned the hard way...never again will...

This hotel is still undergoing extensive remodeling and will join the Holiday Inn chain. The staff was great, the room was clean, the conference room was passable, the breakfast was typical. It has a great location and should be really nice later this summer.

For the price you can't go wrong. I is a good location and the rooms are pretty good. This is not a 4 star resort but if you are passing through and need a place to stay for the night it will work just fine.

I reserved a king bed - waterfront room for my 40th wedding anniversary. When we arrived at the hotel, the front desk gave us a key card but when we went in, we were shocked to see someone else staying in the room! They were shocked too that we just walked into their room. I went back to the front... More

We stayed at this property for three nights (Wed - Fri) while attending a convention at the Convention Center across the street. Our room was a mini suite with King bed, desk, hide-a-bed couch, small refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker, as well as a standard long dresser. Closet space wasn't much. The bath had two sinks, one in the closet... More

The location is great! It is an old hotel that is being renovated. In my opinion, they should lower rates during renovation, because it was not worth $109 per night. Everything smelled. (I'm guessing it's mold or mildew under the carpet.). We just needed a place to sleep for a night (before Pedal and Play in Paradise), so we could... More
