Every second I was going out, the staff asked if i was checking out, mind you i was in and out of my room so many times, i kept saying im staying til this day. some of the staff was rude. when i checked in and i gave the name of the reservation the gentlemen with a accent i barely understood, said "it doesnt matter give me your id". was not welcoming at ALL, did not make us feel welcomed and excited. he was definitely miserable. the room was small. room was a little dusty, found someone's bloody Band-Aid on our floor next to our bed.

Historic building is charming. Service was outstanding, both at reception and in room. Room nicely modernized with all amenities--coffee maker, glasses, abundant linens, quiet, lock box and ironing board etc. Shower temperature control took a bit of experimentation, but strong and modern.

The location of the property is ideal for walking to restaurants, shopping, and harbor sights. Overall, I enjoyed my stay. The room itself was clean. However, the mini fridge had an odor and the desk chair was was spotted and stained.
