Thanks Hector!
I stayed for 2 nights while working out of town. I met Hector at the front desk and he was very helpful and friendly. The view was lovely, the bed was clean and comfy, great water pressure in the showers and a good restaurant next door. I also found it quiet at night.

Terrific accomodation
Rhoda was amazing on the front desk. The room was very clean and comfortable. There is a big deck with seating right at the water (Porpoise Bay). Right next door is the Lighthouse Pub with an amazing view of the bay and great food. They have keno, a pool table and often bands on weekends!

Great experience at the Spot
The hotel was clean and when I arrived, the A/C was already on in the room which was amazingly considerate. The gentleman at the front desk, whom dealt with a few times with respect to booking further reservations, was a credit to his profession. He was resourceful, friendly and most helpful!
I couldn't have been more impressed
