Enjoyable stay on the Bay in the offseason. Room was clean, nice view. Ongoing construction was away from room. The two restaurants were convenient and served local seafood!

DONT STAY HERE
It was awful. Immediately upon opening the door to the room there was just an awful old smell reeking from the room so we opened the windows and blasted the AC to get the smell out. The beds are super old and uncomfortable. The couch is clearly old and smelled awful. The prices are way too high for that kind of quality. Stop putting millions into a parking garage and work on the hotel!!! Also there’s no breakfast! Look somewhere else before staying here.

Overall it was a very nice stay. We didn't know when you booked the room that the resort was under construction. There was lots of banging and contruction people at our window. The room humility level was terrible. There wasn't much of a way to control it. We used the thermostat on the air conditioner to try to deal with the noisture, but it was cold and damp. My shoes were wet when we left.

We wanted a stopover with marina/ocean views and Rod 'N" Reel didn't disappoint. Read the most recent reviews. Complaints from a year ago didn't happen to us. There is definitely major construction right now but as they are building a new wing but it didn't bother us. Make sure you pay attention when booking as not all rooms have balconies. We were able to upgrade on-site and I can totally recommend have sundowners on your balcony. We ate a great seafood dinnner at Trader's (about a 5 minute walk) and it was so good we had brunch the next day on the way out. Great value for money.
