Inn By The Harbor
Room was clean and promptly cleaned every morning. The courtyard is adorable—lots of foliage, pool and jacuzzi, umbrellas and green. Very quiet and relaxing in the jacuzzi every morning. The breakfast was very good as well, a few steps up from continental for sure. My only issue came with my room ...
