Review Score: 10

Summary: Lovely hotel and grounds and close to the water. I was on a solo trip for a few days from LA and was given an upgrade to a suite which was great but it was mid week. Fantastic staff! Home baked cookies! Free bike rental but check the bike first. I’d stay here again! Lots of great restaurants within walking distance.
