The staff were knowledgeable of the area, accommodating, and very friendly! This was our first stay (2 nights) and we were assigned to room 4. The bathroom/shower was small for us. This is the only reason I gave 4 stars for the facility. We would definitely stay again but request a room with larger bathroom/shower. The breakfast is free with stay and has great order from menu options. The location is also very convenient.

Made to order breakfast; good tap beer and wine; quaint; card/board games available. Very charming. I’m not a fan of the sink outside the bathroom, but in the olden days, bedrooms didn’t have attached bathrooms. There’s only so much that can be done with a small space in an historic building. Brendan was awesome.

Very walkable spot for downtown and the harbor area. Todd was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was accommodated and everything was running smoothly! He is outstanding and could not be more helpful and welcoming! Made to order breakfast was delicious. Happy hour drinks and snacks were great. Only downside was our bathroom/shower situation was very tiny and tight and lots of street noise at night. However, if we could get a different room we would absolutely stay here again. Thank you Todd!

Fantastic Breakfast

Stay was decent. The biggest perk was the included menu breakfast. Breakfast was delicious and a highlight. Very unique hotel but could use some updates. Very clean. We had a street side room. The outside nightlife was loud

We arrived right at the end of happy hour and they gave us the opportunity to enjoy a snack after our drive. We had some drinks also. We were given some great ideas for evening out. We ate at Su Casa across the street and the food was great. Next morning the made to order breakfast was amazing. Overall our room, food, drinks, service were a tremendous. One of the best stays we’ve had!
