Great for family gatherings

The made-to-order breakfast, included with your room, was great; the free shuttle to/from the airport is a must for those arriving by air; and close to the Harbour Passage walkway to town.

A little disappointing

I had to switch rooms on day 2 of 4. Therefore I can offer comments on both rooms. The rooms have not been updated since 1970. The bath room tile was old and cracked. There was not an exhaust fan in the bathrooms. However what it lacked in amenities it made up in a superior staff. Free breakfast and various free dinner nights was a nice touch.

Nice lobby and lower level.

The hotel lobby has been updated, as well as the dining room and lower level restrooms. Guest rooms, however, are in much need of a remake, some chairs with very worn upholstery. Stepping off the elevator, there is a very institutional feeling. Painting the guest room doors would do much to improve this area. Our bathroom showed much wear and tear.

Good hotel at a decent price

We came here the first time upon finding that everything else in town was full. We were surprised to find that this older hotel had been pretty much refurbished and was actually pretty nice. It is convenient to downtown and to the ferry. The second time we stayed here we were able to book on [...] and saved a lot over the previous price. Our room was even nicer and had a great view of the harbor. Overall I would recommend it.

Just OK

The rooms are rather shabby and the bathroom had rust stains. It was clean, but just run-down. The restaurant was busy and we waited a long time to get our meal as there was a new cook. The one good thing about the hotel is the spectacular view of the harbor.
