Sweet, conveniently located hotel

Sweet hotel one block from the Marina. We stayed in 4 rooms for a family vacation with teens and senior citizens- and it was perfect for the entire family. Nice, clean rooms, lovely staff, great location. Would definitely stay there again.

The staff was friendly, they went beyond for us! They upgraded us when our room was booked incorrectly. They allowed us to check out later, if needed, and were just wonderful. I recommend staying here, if you have to do any activities at the pier or harbor. We were in a regatta, so it was super convenient.
