We stayed in a first floor studio and while it served its purpose it would seem quite steep for $269 and that’s just paying for the waterfront view/location. Lack of any plugs in the bathroom for electrical appliances, beds are small for a couple and it didn’t make us want to spend time in the room. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0256911f-4396-4ffb-8317-9f9a29d85ab9-1767403219749.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tania Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Valerie 10 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beautiful, tranquil setting on waterfront.
