Fancier Than Our Usual Places

I think we booked a high end room as it was pricy but had a jetted tub, and fireplace in the room. The location was great as we could walk everywhere except the National Park.

Happy Repeat Guest

We enjoyed the food (had 3 meals there) and the ambience—especially the in-room gas fireplace and the harbor view. Service was friendly and prompt. The staff was very helpful and accommodating.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. We wanted to charge our EV overnight. While they only have a regular 110V outlet, they made it easy for me to park next to the outlet and charge overnight.

The location was perfect. The check in was seamless. Room 36 is a corner room with fantastic views. Best in the harbor we thought. Sadie at the bar was a joy. They have complimentary cookies and potato chips. We loved our stay here.

My stay was fabulous! The staff was great and they were very accommodating. Breakfast was good coffee excellent. Dinner not so much. I had the Halibut. It was stinky dry and nothing exceptional. I would not recommend it. There are other great restaurants that I would choose.
