Good Overall Stay

bay views wave sound harbor proximity small room minimal bathroom high price
The location provides magnificent views of the bay. The sound of waves was audible from my room, a definite plus. The hotel is close to the harbor, I could easily walk there (it was great).
My room was a bit small (I chose the standard room). The bathroom felt minimal. I expected a bit more space for the price.
