The property was very clean and the view was amazing! Spacious room and newly renovated bathroom. Piles of restaurants within walking distance and located right on the Harbour. Could not beat the location. The only downside was that the listing said there was free offsite parking. This was true between 5 pm to 10 am only, otherwise you had to feed the meter, which in our case only cost $5. It was totally worth renting and we'd definitely return.

Disappointed

The location was amazing. Couldn’t have been better. But they gave us the room under the restaurant & there was a 6-7 ft broken lobster tank outside on our porch. I believe I was charged more than the price listed by Hotel.com

A very large room with unbelievable views over the harbour. Very friendly and helpful staff. The downide was primarily the furniture - the sofa has seen much better life and is niow in a poor state and the bed was small with an old mattress.

Great location and views from the room. The room is spacious with a sitting area with TV that looks out to the water. There’s a kitchen and dining area as well. Parking is on street wherever you can find a spot. We didn’t have an issue finding a spot.

The room facing the bay had a great view! It’s just a room with an ok bed. Shower was good and parking is tricky as it’s on the street. We were there in the off season so not too bad but I think in the busiest summer season you may have to park far away. Great location for food and shopping though!
