I’ve stayed here a few times. The latest was another great stay. I got an early check in and upgraded to Harbor view. The room was clean and comfortable. The property has a great hot jacuzzi with strong jets. The pool is clean and 8 feet deep at one end.. continental breakfast also.

Decent hotel for an event with great views.
