"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."
