The property was well maintained and staff were friendly and informative and helpful. It is directly across from the marina and has convenient parking, even though it was paid parking. The restaurant/bar was great to eat at and enjoy a couple drinks at the end of a long day. The breakfast was substantial and filled us the next morning for our adventures.

We had a great visit. Breakfast was very good, with a good variety of different dishes. We also had dinner at the restaurant and it was wonderful - delicious food and very pleasant service. The staff was wonderful. There was no parking at the hotel, but plenty of street parking right behind the hotel. Overall, loved our stay ❤️

Everything about the hotel was great! The bathrooms were bright, new and clean, the breakfast was yummy and plentiful, the service was top notch. I definitely reccomend staying here, the location is within walking distance to train, busses, and attractions. Our only suggestion would be to let the front desk know if you have issues with climbing stairs because there are some rooms that are not reachable by lift alone.
