It was just a gorgeous location, the staff was great. I thought they had robes, but when we got there they did not. We received a text asking if we needed anything. I said a robe would be great. It was up there in a flash.
the Panorama restaurant was surprisingly good. For the price, could not have been more pleased.

The most overpriced stay for what it is. The shower head was missing, with a handheld one shoved in the wall, that wasn’t adjustable to take a normal shower. The toilet handle was held on by plastic wrap. The refrigerator and cabinet it was in were filthy. The whole hotel was very dated and not worth $450/night in any way or form. The staff was incredible and the views of the marina were great, but overall I wouldn’t recommend or stay here again
