"We loved our stay at the Marine hotel! Excellent location, hotel was well kept up, and spa facilities were amazing. The only thing that was disappointing was how busy the restaurants would get, to the point where room service was even unavailable. Had we been warned at check in, we would’ve booked reservations."
