Stay here for the view. I’m sure there are nicer or more luxurious places to stay, but I doubt they’ll beat the view. Room is ok, a bit dated with a motel feel but it’s clean, comfortable and located perfectly. Also, their restaurant is fantastic! Best meal so far on our trip.

The office staff was friendly, informative and professional. We had view of the harbor, which was lovely. The room was clean and tidy and the beds were super comfy. We also dined at the restaurant on site, which was wonderful! The only issue was that the ice machine wasn’t functioning. Other than that, a beautiful place to stay. Thank you! We will definitely be visiting again.
