I really liked the Waterfront Inn. We had a beautiful view. The rooms appear to be recently updated. There is no elevator which could be an issue for some. We had a rental car so didn't use the shuttle. It was a convenient driving distance. We also enjoyed food at a Pub that was only a few blocks away.
