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.

We stayed in the new section, which was excellent. Lovely room; very clean with a large bathroom with rainfall shower. Excellent amenities including a fabulous restaurant, fitness room, heated lap pool, sauna (allow plenty of time to heat up) and laundry. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Early checkin was available at no extra charge. Location was close to town with coastal walking trail across the street.
