Bayview Tower
Room was great. Basic but clean. Great views. Breakfast great. Property was advertised as having parking but there was very very limited parking on site so we had to park on street. Street was steep so taking luggage in and out was a challenge.

Great staff. We had bad luck with rainy day and the staff helped us to find things to do and give us a nice upgrade for our room.

Realized at check-in that we had the wrong room booked. Easily upgraded at a reasonable price. Washer and dryer worked well. Staff very friendly and helpful. Small deck great for morning coffee. Located on the river with a nice walking path.

Quality Resort Parkhurst
Would have given a perfect score except for the terrible water pressure in the shower. Staff were excellent, restaurant was excellent in food and service, the rooms and beds were very comfortable. All round a great place to stay.
