We booked the king room with a harbor view. The room, on the top floor, had a beam ceiling with brick walls, which we appreciated as we enjoy historical inns. The picture window was a plus. The complimentary continental breakfast was plentiful and changed each morning. Staff members were attentive.

Very vintage. Rooms were clean and bed very comfortable. One tiny elevator for a lot of rooms and didn’t really feel secure outside hotel at night. You have to park along street or in remote parking…

The property is super convenient to the Downtown location. The rooms are very spacious and clean. There is a lot of food places and a club down the street. Not disruptive at all. We parked on the street on the weekend, and it was completely free. Overall, was very nice stay!
