My stay at Hotel Aqua Mar was good. It was cleaner and in better condition than I anticipated. It is definitely not a luxury hotel, but it provided all the amenities you would need such as a mini-fridge, coffee maker. It is close to the harbor which is nice. The bed wasn't very comfortable, but I have slept on worse. The room is on a main street, so the morning is a bit noisy.
The hotel is good for the value. I will stay here again.

Checked in and the key card at first wouldn’t work. When I came back from dinner and got ready to relax, I Hansard the people upstairs from my room walking back and forth almost continuously! They continued to do that for several hours. I had to put earphones in to cut down the noise. Lousy night!

For short stays, this motel is perfect—very cozy, and the staff is extremely polite. Everything works perfectly well.

My bathroom smelled like it was hot boxed before I checked in. Thats why the bathroom fan fan was running. The dead bolt was not installed properly and would not fully engage. Not a very safe feeling in in a unfamilar room when you are trying to sleep.
