Dear Sacnvr218, Thank you for letting us know about your visit. We appreciate your comments and agree we do have a busy harbor. There is a wonderful Harbor Parade of Lights at Christmas that our guests love. Sorry about no cookie, try our cinnamon rolls in the morning. We hope you come to see us again. Happy Traveling.

Dear Pat A., Thank you for your wonderful and thoughtful review. I feel the same way about the ocean, and the calm and beauty it can bring. We did add a necessary parking fee to our Guest Services. We provide night security and a much needed restricted parking area for guests only. Please come to see us again and enjoy... More

We were disappointed with our stay. The odor, which probably fluctuates with wind conditions, really was a bother. I believe it comes from the sewage treatment plant that you can see from the hotel. For those of you considering the Sheraton next door, it would have the same problem. The room fine but not wonderful. The view was very nice.... More

Dear Frair4, Thank you for your review. There are off shore winds that do come occasionally occur. We are in an agricutural area and by the beach. It is a large area of waterfront homes, Harbor Village, hotels and a marvelous, classic, ocean front city. I apologize that your stay was not a pleasant one. We will be expanding out... More

After reading a few of the recent reviews, after we had booked, it was with some trepidation that we arrived for our 2 night stay. We were pleasantly surprised with a room that was clean and spacious. It was a third floor king Harbour view & the view was perfect. Very peaceful. Although there was some traffic noise & at... More

This is an old wing of a Sheraton Hotel converted to an HIE with a tiny unappealing lobby and rooms with balconies that are unusable because of the odor coming from nearby fetid water. Our room had a bland decor, but it was a good size and it was comfortable enough. In addition to the stink, another indignity is an... More

Dear Wonderfulworld, I apologize that your unexpected stayover at our property was uncomfortable for you. The property was the suite wing of the resort by us, which is why we have such a wonderful location overlooking the Harbor. Thank you for telling about your experience here.

No suggestion on where to park or where the room was, just went back to doing nothing. Found the room - Booked a king online and were given a queen with the worst odor.... More
