Nice room, reasonably large, but basic stuff. Interior corridors on 3 floors. Walking distance to the pretty bay and little shops. Breakfast was pretty standard for mid scale hotels. Parking was available and free, and a Tesla destination charger was a happy surprise.

We really loved it, we came on a motorcycle trip. It was so safe and we had a great time. It was clean, well maintained, and the breakfast wasn’t bad. The service was great. The front desk person, Andy, was very helpful. We’re coming back for my birthday in may. Can’t wait!!
