"We were in a double with 2 queen beds. The one door we entered from the parking lot and the other was a sliding glass door to the porch that had a couple of chairs and a table per room to use. It was remodeled and clean and the staff was nice and friendly. The Island Explorer bus picks up right outside the hotel parking lot and is free to use."
