My little escape was very comfortable. The room wasn’t fancy, but it was large and clean and i slept well. I don’t usually eat much in the hotels where i stay, but the food here was excellent and i ate there everyday.

Angela

Liked: Cleanliness
Pretty good location, interesting old hotel, but got put on second floor above dumpster which was loud and no view, even though the hotel was far from full and it’s off season. Not sure if this was a person of color issue (me) or lower Expedia rate issue, but wished I’d paid less at nearby hotels for the same experience. Thought I’d get something better paying for a place on the water.
