Loved this place and would definitely want to stay again. It's walking distance to the waterfront where there's shops and restaurants. And walking distance from the rock and the beach if you don't mind a little stroll (less than a mile away). The property is clean and not outdated, parking is easy and convenient, the room is spacious and the staff is friendly.

We stay here every year and have been very pleased. This year it was a little warmer than normal but we used the air conditioner in our room and it was very comfortable. If you are looking for a nice clean quiet place to stay, this is the place and its so close to shopping and restaurants which is very convenient.

We had an overall okay stay this past weekend. It was so close to the bay with walking distance and it was so convenient. However, the room we had smelled like cigarettes even though we requested for a non smoking room. Downside they don't have breakfast on site and parking can become limited and sometimes will half to park on the street if you get there late.
