Outstanding hotel and staff! It's quaint without the creaks and groans of an old hotel. Needed a small fridge for some medication that has to stay cold and it was in our room in minutes. The restaurant and the bar on-site are also award winning and deservedly so. Easy walk to old town.

Everything is great, especially the order-to-cook breakfast choices. My only complain is the bed, it's too soft, and makes noise & shake every time you turns, one of us ended up slept on the floor.

More than we’d usually spend on a hotel, but pleasantly surprised! The super high water pressure, hot shower alone made it worth it! Plus complimentary beer or wine and cookies upon arrival, high quality tea and coffee (with oat milk available), a healthy breakfast, and an EV charger - can’t complain! The room got pretty warm with the evening sun, but opening the window and using the fan helped. Quiet clientele and friendly staff. Recommended and we’ll stay again!

We enjoyed our stay very much. Our room included 2 glasses of wine, The bartender made some great Mocktails for us as we do not drink alcohol, which was much appreciated. The staff were very friendly and gave good suggestions for dinner within walking distance, The location is not in the heart of the city but by the marina. There were a few homeless people in the area. The Breakfast Buffet was very good and we had a choice of extra hot dishes made to order. Very nice.
