Bay Club Hotel & Marina

10/10 Excellent
"We had a junior suite on the first floor, in the corner, facing the marina. The room was nicely appointed and very clean. We absolutely loved the spacious balcony. Because it was unusually warm in SD, we spent quite a bit of time using it. We had coffee in the morning and drinks and snacks in the evenings."
