Great Hotel, Warm and Cozy Feel to the rooms with everything needed provided. Bathroom was spacious and very useable. Staff were friendly and accomodating. Breakfast offered could have a greater selection but was adequate. Stayed on the fourth floor of the main building which requires you to walk up the last flight of stairs. Elevator will only take you as far as the third.

This Place surprised us! Parking was easy and gated. The Check in was quick. There is soft old timey music playing in the hallways which give a nice feel when you walk into. The room was a total surprise, from the new shower, the jacuzzi and the large bed. We wanted to stay more then the one place we booked. The area is a short walk to everything needed. Dining/shopping/harbor views. Loved our stay, Will book it next time too.

Elevator needs some work. Makes quite a clunk when it starts. Rode up to our floor with a staff member who said she does' nt like the sound when it starts. We used the stairs most times. Only used the elevator when checking in with our luggage.

There was rodents on 2nd floor. Seen twice. This is disturbing considering this is where staff would retrieve the food and coffee for breakfast. Reservation was messed up abd I ended up paying for a night at a higher rate. Overall would not return . Staff were great and friendly but language barrier was a real thing, the location was very difficult to find via maps for the entrance the first evening . The building is old , smelly, parking not available most of the time , needs many upgrades including flooring (actually carpet cleaner would probably make an improvement) overall very very disappointed. Will never return and think Expedia should call me since I requested it days ago via email . 7096326861

The picture of the outside back dinning area is ABSOLUTELY FALSE! It is completely run down, flags are in shreds still hanging. Chairs are worn out and miss matched. There is No Restaurant back there or in the hotel. They still have the old wood bar back there with paint peeling off, random extension cord Absolutely Shameful! Cannot figure out why they even have that picture on the expedia website other than the fact that they are in dire straights. Our expedia room had a large stationary wood pole in front of our tv so you cant see the tv unless your standing right in front of it. Our robes were so worn the ties were in shreds. I cant make this up!
