Victorian Charm and Amazing Views

beautiful view convenient location ample parking
The location provided easy access to sunset views and morning walks. The main road location made it convenient for walking into town. The continental breakfast room offered a beautiful spread, including an array of pastries and fresh fruit. It certainly met expectations. Parking was ample, a relief. The hotel's proximity to the water added to the allure.
The check-in system had issues. I found it somewhat frustrating.
