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.

Breakfast was excellent. Great value and quality There is a lift but you have to go up several sets of steps to get to it. Not great if you have mobility issues or heavy bags The spa was out of service for our stay Location great No parking but some parking locally. We went out of season so I think it will be busy in summer. Woudk definitely go again
