I thank God for this place. I needed to be close to a government office for early morning check out. Staf was super helpful. The place is quaint and rustic which I appreciated close to port and lots to do walking distance great music and live singer down the street. Balcony to the street was great pillows were the best. Brand new tub big one that a very big girl like me appreciated.

Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. We did not use the amenities but other people were using the pool. The only issue is that the hotel is getting old and the rooms need care.
