Dockhands and dockmaster were terrific. Slip was great as well. Unfortunately, the wifi was non-existent. They explained they have been working on it for awhile , they know it's a problem, but they haven't figured it out yet.
Sorry, wifi is so very important to mariners and so cheap and easy to get right. This is low hanging fruit stuff and if a marina can't be bothered then I can't give 5 stars.
Chart House restaurant on site was expensive and excellent, did not try Ichabod's but it looked a bit tired and run down. Downtown is apparently a very short walk but we did not go. Staff at this marina were terrific, they are 5 stars, Marina 3.5 stars overall, would give 2.5 because of the wifi.View location on the Waterway Guide Explorer

Donna was terrific and handled the slip reservation with ease. Upon arrival, discovered the wifi is down and has been down a long while. Such a simple inexpensive amenity that is so very important to mariners, and so easy to remediate. Furthermore, when fueling, the attendant insisted on fueling my boat himself, walked away while it was running, and the equipment failed to shut off when the tank was full. He then immediately started hosing the boat off WITH THE DIESEL FUEL CAP STILL OFF, introducing an unknown amount of water to my diesel tanks.
Finally, the restrooms are faaaaaaaar away, across an unpaved sandy parking lot, behind the dry storage building. The restrooms are updated and new, but they are apparently rarely cleaned as the floor was covered with sand from the parking lot, mixed with water? pee? not sure, but the result is muddy restroom floors.
Overall, a third world experience. Was lucky to get a slip though, as everyone else was booked that 4th of July night.View location on the Waterway Guide Explorer
