Charmingly Nice Stay!
nice layouttasty breakfastwaterfront location
The room had a very nice layout. I found the breakfast in the dining room quite tasty, especially the salmon and scrambled eggs. It was plentiful!!! The hotel's waterfront location provided easy access. This was very useful because I had a rental car.
Nothing to report! Everything was spot on.

The location was perfect on a quiet waterfront road.
I found the bedroom smaller than expected. The shower was too narrow and the bracket for shower gel felt unsteady. The bathroom fan did not work, and there was no window, a fault I reported, but it remained unfixed.
