From our arrival to our checkout, the hotel and staff were outstanding! Pleasant, unhurried, and very helpful. The breakfast addition to our booking was an excellent value: beautiful and carefully prepared food with great service. The dining room has an expansive view of the City and harbor area. Excellent dining directly across the street — Mivan has a great variety of savory local foods. This is a highly recommended property. I would definitely stay here again!
