Convenient and charming hotel.
A really nice hotel in the heart of downtown. It was my first stay here and I will definitely return and recommend it to others. The room was very spacious, comfortable,clean, quiet with all the modern conveniences while keeping the charm of a historic fishing premises. Staff were great and parking was right next to the front door. The complimentary coffee/tea kitchen and included continental breakfast were a bonus.

I love this place for it's charm, location and uniqueness. My only complaint is they need a detailed dusting in the rooms. The corners and light fixtures have a buildup of dust. Also the tub is not bathworthy clean in my opinion.
