Great location, never been in the bar to get service and rooms are a bit small and outdated especially for the rate charged.

Great bar and staff. New pool table and a few slot machines. Nice quiet rooms and just a minute away from the marina. If you're planning on booking a fishing trip call Byron. Hakuna Matata charters is the best

Everything you need right there. Cold beer, pizza, bait and tackle, nice soft beds, even a few slot machines. Plus Byron is the best fishing guide in the bay!!! I'll be back next year!
