Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was delightful! The rooms were spacious, modern, and impeccably clean, offering a beautiful view of the harbor. The service was outstanding, with a friendly and helpful staff that truly enhanced my experience. The location was perfect for exploring the area with easy access to hiking, sights, and kayaking. However, being situated above the restaurant did bring some extra noise at times, which was a minor inconvenience.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff. The location was convenient, right over a restaurant, and the dining experience, though adequate, could have been better organized. Overall, a stay with some notable highlights and drawbacks.
The hotel rooms were spacious, warm, and lovely despite being a bit outdated and dark. The service was friendly and helpful, but missed the mark by causing us to miss out on our activities. The location was convenient to explore the area but might be a letdown if you're not facing the river. The dining experience was good overall but lacked some organization. The facilities were adequate but could have been better.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, despite being spacious with a fireplace and private balcony overlooking the inlet, were not as clean as expected and lacked proper lighting. The service, however, was exceptional with friendly and helpful staff. The location was convenient for outdoor activities and exploration. While the dining options were satisfying, the facilities needed some improvements.
My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room had beautiful views overlooking the marina and was very nice with comfortable beds, but it was a bit dark and not as clean as expected. The service was kind and helpful, with quick responses to requests and friendly staff. The location was convenient for outdoor activities but could be busy near the stairs. The dining experience offered healthy choices and fresh fixings made to order, but was a bit disorganized at times.
Despite needing a thorough cleaning due to being very dusty and being a 3rd floor walk-up above the restaurant, the stay had its charms.
