The filtered water feature was a definite bonus for us - as we drink a LOT of water and don't do tap water when traveling. The rooms are spacious, Parking is a bit tight for a larger vehicle(ie truck) but manageable. It's walking distance to the beach, marina, pier, shops, and restaurants. Great little boutique hotel.
