I had a great stay at this hotel! The rooms are exactly as they look on the website - very cute, modern, clean, and nicely decorated. The service was helpful and friendly, but not overbearing. The location is perfect, overlooking the harbor and just a short walk from the ferry dock. The dining experience was nice, although it was just continental style. Overall, a comfortable and welcoming place to stay.
