"It was an excellent stay. The staff was wonderful. She got us a room on the ground floor and it's a motel style entrance, so we just rolled our bags right into the room, which is always cool and definitely helps since taking them upstairs would've been pretty hard. Breakfast was OK, like all the other hotels of this level. The beds were cozy, the room was warm, all was well."

"Wonderful view of the harbor. Very pleasant stay. Only slight minus was the restaurant: food and drink were fine, but service was definitely rushed, apparently in a bid to fit in a second service before closing: appetizer arrived before we had even started on cocktail, and entree before we had finished appetizer."

"I have stayed at Oceangate twice now. The staff I dealt with were friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious, with a microwave and frig, making it easy to take a meal in the room. The mattress was excellent and I got a good night's sleep every night. I loved having a view of the water from my balcony, and watching the light change as the sun went down. There was a variety of hot and cold choices each morning at breakfast. My only complaint is that the coffee could be better, other than that, it was a great stay."
