Hotel is conveniently located. Short walk from restaurants, coffee and shopping. Also close to marina and tourist attractions. Rooms are spacious. Our room had a small, but very functional kitchen area, with all the essentials. Bathroom had a free standing tub and a shower, with good counter space. Would stay here again.

Weekend Away

We stayed for 3 nights for a birthday celebration. The room was clean and the kitchen was well equipt. The large tub was lovely. Walking distance to plenty of dining options as well as tasty food at the restaurant onsite. Live music was a great addition

Great place, good vibe in restaurant lobby area. My only complaint was the types of toilet paper they use. Not rolls but sheets like they have in the UK. They were rather low too so it was difficult using them. Other than that small minor thing, the place was great, bed was comfortable and I slept like a baby.
