The room facing the bay had a great view! It’s just a room with an ok bed. Shower was good and parking is tricky as it’s on the street. We were there in the off season so not too bad but I think in the busiest summer season you may have to park far away. Great location for food and shopping though!

Nobody here when I arrived. Just a note stuck on the door for me to call a number provided. Had to carry bags upstairs through an unlocked door to my room, that had the key in the door! Restaurant not open. Parking meters outside so I have to move car by 10am! Room very hot and remote control for heater has dead batteries. The man on the phone was very nice and he has text replies to all my questions but I was expecting a normal check in, even though it's not the height of season. I was here around 5 so it wasn't a late check in.
