"The location is further from the marina. While you can walk, it is a long walk and a car would be needed for those that don’t want a 35-40 minute walk to restaurants and marina. The property had the basics ( four plates, cups, and bowls, and some basic cooking items) and was sufficient for our stay as we often eat out for meals. The cleaning crew needs to do a better job though. There were stains on couch, carpet and curtains. Pool is very nice. Hot tub was really a cold tub."

The Abbott Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Fantastic hotel. Clean, spacious, comfortable beds, great location! My only issue was the Smurf size ironing board. When trying to iron business clothes on a Smurf size ironing board it is very difficult. Please get normal size ironing boards. Other than that; the hotel is great!"
