The Waterfront Inn

The Waterfront Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Pleasant experience from front desk greeting to check out. ALL staff acknowledged guests and had smiles. Calypso was typical pricing for on site dining and food was delicious! Even the staff there (close to closing time) was so happy to help and serve. Room was immaculate, decor a little dated. Cannot beat the area and price was great! I almost felt like I was waiting for something to go awry…but never did! 10/10 would recommend and will stay again. My daughter and husband wanted to come stay another weekend just for leisure….! We stayed for a softbal tournament. 😁"
