“Its waterfront setting is a true highlight, with direct beach access allowing for pleasant morning coffees by the bay. The staff's genuine helpfulness and the convenient downtown shuttle are significant advantages. While some decor might feel a bit dated, the comfort and cleanliness of the rooms, coupled with a well-regarded breakfast and an inviting pool area, make this a solid choice.”
