The location was great. It was across from the marina and there were lots of dining and shopping options within walking distance. The room was fine. The elevator never did work for us. You're definitely paying for the location as the room was expensive for what it was.

Booked last minute and easily found keys for my room. Extremely clean, beds are comfortable. Great location with nice view of the harbor. Nice to wake up to the sound of the ferries leaving the harbor. Off season rates are very reasonable for the stay.

Cozy and quaint. Close to shops and restaurants. We went in off season, so not much was open, but the price was right and it was more than worth it.
