Very nice place to stay overlooking the bay. Friendly staff, well-maintained property, clean and comfortable. They have a restaurant on site. However, the menu is fairly limited. But what I did have was excellent. Beautiful walking path right across from the hotel along the bay. Close to downtown restaurants and activities.

8/10 Very good

The renovations were impressive and while we stayed in the older part of the hotel the room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast needs significant improvement which I expect will coincide with the completion of the renovations. Would stay here again to make use of all the amenities.

“Our stay at the hotel on May 26th was truly wonderful. The atmosphere was peaceful and elegant, and our room was comfortable and beautifully arranged. Although we only stayed one night, it was a perfect getaway, and we woke up feeling refreshed. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quick, relaxing escape.”

We had a great overnight stay. It was clean, tidy, and very comfortable throughout. The highlight for our family was definitely the heated indoor pool. Having pool towels provided made it super easy and convenient. We also really appreciated the water filters/fountains, which were a nice touch (and helps the environment) The location was great, and we found parking around the hotel to be easy and hassle-free. Overall, a very family-friendly option and we’d happily stay again.
