A fun place to stay right on the boat basin. Convenient to town, shopping, dining and the Wave (bus). Parking was a bit of a problem but in the nature of the location. There is designated parking off site (about a 10-15 minute walk). Staff were very friendly and helpful - overall an excellent experience!
