The staff was excellent—took advantage of the complimentary beach chairs a couple times to go sit by the harbor. Location of hotel is great — right across street from harbor near all restaurants and shops. Room was clean and nice.
Renovated hotel with friendly and professional staff.

It was a very overpriced room for the design/quality, but the bed was comfortable and the location is great. The hotel doesn’t have much in the way of amenities but the lobby bar is fun.
We had a great stay at the Bellanca Hotel! The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Check-in was smooth and quick, and the same goes for check-out—super easy and stress-free. They also allowed us to leave our baggage after checking out so we could continue exploring the island, which was a huge help and made our trip even better! Overall, a great experience and I would definitely stay here again!
Staff was very friendly, the rooms were clean and it was very easy to locate and the complimentary usage of the bikes was a cherry on top. Definitely would be staying here again.
