It is older but has character. The grounds are beautiful with plertiful flowers and lush green trees and bushes. The bay view is phenomenal. We had a suite upstairs which was an inconvenience but staff more than made up for it. There was an eagle pair nesting there and fishing in the ocean with the pelicans. It is quiet and peacefull and beautiful.
