We unfortunately did not have a balcony view ( the bay is beautiful) Lou, the hotel manager? receptionist ? should get 5 stars. Great hospitality! The location was great, and I would give it 5 stars had we gotten a room with a view . Unfortunately our view was the back of a restaurant. Great location and I would recommend it to other travelers .
