Work trip

Very lovely boutique hotel, with lovely views and great location if taking the ferry. The bed was comfy, the shower was great, and the decor is nice. If I could make a couple recommendations; use the bath mat when stepping out of the shower(slippery!) and the electrical outlets were a bit of a hide and seek situation. Would definitely book here again though!!

Super cute hotel. Front staff was super nice. Within walking distance to a couple cafes and shops as well as the marina. Rooms were clean and hotel was overall nice. Parking is ok. My only complaint is the room being really tight, but that is out of their control. Bathroom was nicely renovated with a walk in glass shower with rainfall showerhead.

Was a great choice for our trip. Visiting friends at the campground. Fifteen minute walk. Room very nice. Some noise from ferry traffic but to be expected. Handy to be able to get the car into the ferry parking area early as we could not get a reservation and then just go back to our room to wait until check out. Comfy bed, great bathroom. Nice shower, big and plentiful towels. Could have used a small bistro table/chair.

Very welcoming and helpful staff, a clean, updated Hotel in a great location. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms / showers great. Lovely towels and partial view of ocean. 5minute walk to the wharf/ ferry and restaurants. Only complaint was the traffic noise we could hear from the room when windows open. But we slept well and would happily stay here again.
