We were hurricane refugees that live within 40 minutes of The Waterfront Inn. It was lovely. Very clean, quiet room. Cody's Steakhouse was next door and we had a nice dinner. Highly recommend!

We were put in a room on the first floor near the front desk on Saturday afternoon. Remodeling of the floor began early Monday morning. It woke us up. The staff did not offer to move us. The bigger issue though is that they put us in this room in the first place.

Unhappy with Hotels.com
We picked this hotel because it had a pool and bar, that we planned on hangout at. Neither were available due to renovations, ruined our entire night. It would have been nice to use both since that is what was advertised on your website. Would second guess using your website next time due to false advertisement.
