The rooms were very clean and the continental breakfast was very good. The hotel is a bit dated for the price. But its a good and convenient place to lay your head for the night. Right next to the harbor, and many good restaurants. The parking lot was a bit of a free-for-all.

The location was great. Right on the water, near the harbor and center of town. The rooms could use an upgrade. We were able to bring our dog which was fantastic! But the room did have a scent from prior dogs but it was manageable and we didn’t really spend much time in the room anyway. Staff was super friendly. The bar tender was also helpful and friendly. Over all we had a good stay here.
