Huntingdon Hotel and Suites
Good breakfast included. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. Only complaint was the TV setup. Weird cross reference car to try and figure out what to watch. There is also construction going on out front for the next couple of years for a ferry terminal expansion. ...

Hotel Grand Pacific
Fathom is a good restaurant for breakfast and dinner. Disappointed that the pool is now crowded by club members, and a sign up board is now used for lap swimmers.
