"The Bay Club Hotel was a great find. It's convenient to downtown and the surrounding area has great local places like the Harbor Town Pub. The room was large clean and had a great view of the marina. The staff was great and the restaurant serves a ga really good breakfast. I would definitely go back."

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great time staying at the Sofia Hotel. We lived on their 7th floor which was recently updated. The hotel is very clean, great service. Love that it has a water filling station and access to nespresso pods. The restaurant downstairs is also great. Also liked the location, so close to everything but still quiet enough to rest!! Highly recommend ✨"
