"We loved this hotel! A great location, easy parking, tons of things to do in walking distance, a great breakfast, a pool deck that - although you’re right in the harbor - is surprisingly quiet!

The room was clean, didn’t smell the way some older remodeled hotels often smell of smoke. Some rooms ..."
