“The waterfront views are undeniable, though the dated rooms suggest prioritizing budget over luxury; still, the inclusion of practical amenities like microwaves and fridges in every room is a definite plus. With its proximity to the airport and convenient shuttle service, this inn functions best as a brief stopover. I'd say it's a solid choice for travelers focused on functionality and location over extended comfort.”
