Continental breakfast was nice with great view overlooking the water. We stayed in the wharf building. There is no elevator, the stairs are narrow and steep getting large suitcase up the stairs was challenging. The building is clearly old. The bathroom shower is in need of refresh, floor tiles in shower are old, cracked and stained. The rooms do have a fridge which has a small freezer space which was nice. There was no blow dryer in my room. Great location for walking around town. You definitely want to walk, parking is very challenging. Their is a reserved parking space right outside the building for hotel guests. Front desk is only open until 4pm.

Great hotel in a great location right on the water. The hotel’s restaurant is also very good with a great oyster selection and view. Absolutely would come back! The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating— especially when it came to navigating parking in the busy lot! Only one small comment: the air conditioner in room 3 sounds like a jet engine, but it did keep the room nice and cold!!
