We had a great stay! It was a little bit of a walk to the harbor area but we did it and enjoyed the mile stroll! We were very comfortable at the inn. Our room and bathroom were a bit smaller than expected but it was great for what we needed!

Loved this cute boutique hotel! Room and service was excellent! I wish it was a little closer to the Old Port shopping area, but would still stay here again!
