Marina Review for Harborwalk Marina

Passed up Osprey Marina for fuel and hussled here by 3:15pm. "Sorry the fuel dock is full of transients". Opens at 8am, which messes up my timing for tide and currents southbound.
Filling the dock at 5pm is one thing but at 3pm?
Low price fuel was not worth the effort.

  Captain Ed,
  Our practice is to never fill the fuel dock before 5:30 pm. Unfortunately we had a transient that had a reservation and showed up on the wrong day as well as a transient boat that grew 8’. It put us in a bind and we always try to look out for our customers, so we accommodated them instead of turning them away. Sorry for the inconvenience and hope to see you again.
  Thanks.
  
  Chris, Harborwalk Marina

Donuts were good.
Nice to have use of courtesy car.
Good laundry room.
Very good marine supply nearby.
BUT
Showers were filthy. Big hair balls in one and thick layers of soap scum in the other.
No hot water.
WIFI did not work.
AND, COCKROACHES on the dock.

I sent these comments to two points of contact and heard back nothing.

Very disappointing experience.
