The hotel was quaint and charming, a little old in places but nothing major. The staffs were extremely helpful and pleasant. The location was great. Breakfast was delicious, we also had dinner there and it was wonderful, other than they did not cook my steak correctly, but they took it off the bill, which is great customer service.

Perfect! So glad we booked here!! Great location, lounge areas to eat, drink, and enjoy the view. We also enjoyed the view from our room. Very clean rooms with space for 2 people. Food was so-so. 3 of us ordered medium rare steak for dinner and all three steaks were cooked well done. Other than that, it was a perfect vacation.

The restaurant was wonderful and the view and proximity to the harbor was amazing! It is an old building and we requested a twin room. The bathroom was pretty tight and the television was placed so low only one person could see it. But overall the experience was lovely.
