Review Score: 6

Summary: The room was clean and comfortable for our two-night stay. However, one concern was the parking situation. The lot is very limited, especially since many guests bring boats and water equipment, which take up multiple spaces. If you arrive late at night, you’ll likely have a hard time finding parking.
