Is not the best looking property but if you are looking for something close to the wharf and adjacent areas you can’t get anything more convenient. Sad that the property is not in a better condition because it is in a really good location

We can one night and could not get in the gate where car was supposed to be parked as owners were out to dinner. Next night we had to wait for towels to dry before we got more. Not a great experience. Maybe good for a one night stay.

I liked that it was so close to the Wharf and shops. We had a Jr. Suite which had 2 sleeping areas each with its own TV. And the refrigerator (of all things, lol) was larger than the average mini fridge in most hotels. Loved it

DON'T STAY HERE!! There was a bloody pillow case in our room along with a dirty towel and the lock didn't work either. It was just for decoration. Called to try to get the bloody pillow issue fixed but all they offered was a new pillow case. Our stay was just to spend the night, realized about the pillow after 10 p.m had it to wake up at 3:30 a.m didn't had time to be calling the front again , to tell them about the lock or the dirty towel the next morning. VERY DISAPPOINTED
