The front desk staff were very friendly and our room was very clean. My only complaint is not being able to adjust the room temperature. It was slightly warm in our room while we were sleeping, but other than that it was great!

The waterfront location and the patio fireside sites that were lit in the evening. Can't wait until the renovations are complete and full dinning services are available. Recommend that the place of safety grab bars be placed in the room showers. Some of us "old timers" need more stability in places like showers.
