Mariner Inn and Suites
Room was clean and in good condition. The common areas need quite a bit of work to bring issues up to modern standards. Overall the price wad appropriate and my stay was acceptable. This hotel has existed for many years, and the new owners are taking on a lot to modernize this property.
