“Ideal for family getaways, this spot is right on the main road, steps away from dining. I noted the clean rooms and the beautiful ocean views. Though some rooms are compact and noise carries, the location and accommodating service, like early runner breakfasts and ferry disruption discounts, make it a solid choice.”
