Last minute holiday stay
This was a last minute one night stay with the family. It was clean though there was a smoke smell to one of the rooms. We loved the kitchenette and appreciated the afternoon cookies and cheese along with the continental breakfast. It was a little pricey for what it is but to be expected on a holiday weekend. The service was great and we will be back.

Wonderful surprise
We were pleasantly surprised by our king room - it had a full on kitchen, beautifully remodeled bathroom, comfortable bed and a slider to a gorgeous patio garden area. We loved the local wines and cheese at happy hour. But the breakfast was the best. Perfectly cooked oatmeal, blueberries, some sort of egg, spinach bites with green salsa, fresh ripened fruit cut up and displayed perfectly and pastries, bagels and cereal, yogurt cups with blueberries and granola available. Wonderful coffee. We left early in the morning having a wonderful rest and happy tummys. I filled up my water bottle with cucumber water. Love this adorable boutique hotel. Thank you! Thank you for doing it well.

Great location, 2 blocks from the waterfront and within walking distance to many restaurants and places of interest. The property is well maintained, with onsite parking. Pool area is in the courtyard, quiet, and receives morning and afternoon sun. complimentary breakfast in the morning, and wine & cheese during happy hour. Also, there are 2 other sister properties close by guests are able to access including bikes. The room was very large with a kitchen and breakfast area, spacious bathroom, and updates amenities. Very clean, very attentive maid service. All staff were very friendly and helpful, and inquired at every opportunity if everything was okay, or if anything was needed. Overall, this was a great experience. Thank you.
