A wonderful stay at The Waters Edge. Comfortable and clean room with all the extras you expect and more. Coffee, tea and water available all day. Great choice of breakfast delivered to your door in the morning to eat in your room or on the lovely deck at the back of the hotel overlooking the yachts, the bay and San Fransisco in the distance. Every evening from 5 to 7 your are treated to a selection of wines and cheeses. We loved our stay, it’s a real home from home.
