Had one of the "Crow" suites, was awesome view, room was spacious,clean, and comfortable. We were off season so most amenities in the area were closed. The restaurant in the hotel was open and food was good. I would stay here again, in a flash.

The view of the harbour from our room was great and the location to restaurants etc was very good. On street parking was hard to find. Room was very dated which I sort of expected. Linens need to be replaced and washed more effectively and area carpet was stained and tired. Breakfast at the restaurant was good and reasonably priced. Room came equipped with milk and creamers in the fridge as well as real glasses and mugs instead of paper and plastic. Nice touch.
