Everything was just as shown in the ad. Room was comfortable, clean, equipped with coffeemaker and refrigerator. Location was convenient to harbor, wharf, beach, and downtown shopping. Tommy at the front desk was especially helpful. Would definitely stay there again:)

We had one of the smaller rooms and it was fine for 2 people. The room was very dark. We stayed 2 nights, and both nights we were woken at 5am and 3am respectively due to loud noise. Not sure if this was normal.

After changing rooms we got a nice room on the top floor. First room smelt of pot smoke and too much road noise for me.

Absolutely loved this property. Wonderful location with the ultimate classic beach vibe. The best, cleanest beds I’ve ever experienced in a hotel. It felt like home and I wanted to stay a month. One improvement I might suggest is the in room coffee. Step that up and I would be in heaven. Definitely recommend this place and can’t wait to stay again.
