This place was such a nice, clean and relaxing hotel to stay at. The room was clean, smelled good, and had a beautiful view of the bridge. We enjoyed spending time on the small beach to end our day with a bonfire. They offer free smores packs to enjoy by the fire as well. We had such a great stay and will be staying here for future visits and we will definitely be telling our friends and family to stay here too.
