There is a sports bar and restaurant on site and a lovely pool, hot tub, steam room and sauna. The property seemed very short staffed and attention to detail was lacking, but the staff was very responsive when we asked for basics, like bathroom soap and coffee and extra towels. We would stay here again. The hilltop views of the misty waterfront provide a peaceful start to your day!"
