MVP Employee: Jennifer 

LOBBY & TRANSITIONS -- 👍 great

An enticing property, inside & out. 

The building is visibly worn in places, but it's well-maintained for a water front style property.

Common spaces are cushy, clean, & expertly staged.

The walk to a room can be lengthy & elevators slow. Luckily their signage is coherent.



ROOM [Deluxe King] -- 👍 good

A Modern design, with a dated vibe. Equipped with sufficient storage + a high quality ergonomic workspace. 

Cleaning standards were top notch. Views from the balcony were serene. 

For the not-so-good:

Lighting was poor; electrical wiring seems poor; the provided surge protector didn't work; the AC was loud; & the thermostat in this unit wasn't calibrated/accurate.


BED -- 👍 ok

The mattress was comfortable & I liked the pillow quality. Sheets were soft & clean, like everything else. 

My biggest complaint is the lack of duvet bc it gets awfully cold...

In the end, sleep was "fine".


BATH -- good 👍 

Small split bath design. The dimensions are kind of awkward; no functional issues though.

It does take ages for water to heat up (feels very wasteful😞). Still, the shower experience was a good one.


TV & ENTERTAINMENT -- 👍 good

TV is so small... It really wasn't worth the hassle, even with a GoogleTV. 

The trails & marina are the real treasure here-- step outside!

WI-FI & CELL RECEPTION -- 👎 poor

Internet needs more bandwidth & better QoS to prevent all the disconnects.

Video streaming - average

Online gaming - average

Video chatting - average

FOOD & DRINK -- 👍 good

DoorDash friendly. 

The lobby drink fridge was out of order during my stay. 

Ice & vending are still available on floors.

In-room:

✅Small mini fridge

✅Coffee in room

✅ mini microwave

NOISE -- 👎 poor

Wildlife is absurdly loud (ducks, geese, seagulls).

Overhead planes are another external noise pollutant. 

Walls are thin; I overheard an entire phone conversation in the adjoining room ☹️.


LOCATION -- 👍 great

Gorgeous sunsets, fishing spots, & tidy property grounds worth a stroll. 

The area also felt safe.


RATING

Final Price: $154.66/night  

Was it worth it: yes 

Best part: views 

The ducks are INSANE, but this was still a fun staycay.

Maintenance needs to tighten up a bit so I can give this property the 5* it deserves.

I see myself staying here again & would definitely recommend it.

4/5 ⭐️
