Wonderful Coastal Stay

friendly staff delicious breakfast
The staff was friendly and very helpful. The food in the restaurant was delicious , and I especially enjoyed the breakfast selection. The views from the dining room overlooking the bay were amazing. I noticed the hotel offered complimentary parking, a plus when traveling.
The room could have used a fan as the ventilation wasn't sufficient during warmer weather. The small window did not open fully. This made the room quite warm and uncomfortable, particularly at night.
Location

The hotel offers views across the bay, an observation point to enjoy. Walking from the hotel is accessible without a car. The hotel is well-placed for exploring the coast and its attractions.
