I have stayed here before and this time I found out that they spent about a million $ on guest room renovations. Very nice! They have kept the charm of an older period hotel and made it come alive with the new fabrics and furniture. The staff is very friendly and helpful. A great dining room, also renovated with new fabrics and color. And get this, they now offer free bicycles for hotel guests to explore the surrounding harbor trails. What a great idea. I definitely recommend this hotel.
Positives: Very nice boutique hotel, newly renovated.
Negatives: None.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. It is in the heart of the town on the waterfront which is fun. It would be great for young adults. Parking was challenging. Our room was very clean.
Positives: Location, there was a lot to do near by, the staff was helpful.
Negatives: There was no parking. A lot of outside noise because it is in the heart of the town
