fantastic stay with beautiful views
spacious room clean room ample parking
the rooms were spacious and very clean and the beds were very comfortable. i had a room toward the front and the views were gorgeous. there was ample parking , made getting in and out easy. i very much enjoyed my stay here and would come back
the walls seemed a little thin at times i could hear the tv from the room next door. it wasn't constant but noticeable especially in the evenings. perhaps better soundproofing could help with this issue

the staircase to our top-floor room impressed me. i found large ceilings and a magnificent view overlooking the bay. breakfast had an elaborate assortment of pastries, pancakes, and fruit.
the room allocated to me was not satisfactory. the room included both carpeted and wood flooring. the sound of other guests walking on the wood floor was clearly audible in my room.
