A quiet jewel by the sea. . .
Pros:

I was expecting the location to be exquisite and it turned out to be exactly that. But special mention must be made to the staff @ The Waterfront Hotel — beginning w/ Kate. I very much appreciated her prompt reply to a question during the booking process and her warm, genuinely friendly manner towards us during our all-too-brief stay clearly sets the tone for this establishment. Breakfast was wonderful!

Cons:

Just a tiny suggestion (offered with the utmost of respect) that perhaps the bathroom experience could be enhanced with additional hooks on the wall.
