We booked the king room with a harbor view. The room, on the top floor, had a beam ceiling with brick walls, which we appreciated as we enjoy historical inns. The picture window was a plus. The complimentary continental breakfast was plentiful and changed each morning. Staff members were attentive.

Very vintage. Rooms were clean and bed very comfortable. One tiny elevator for a lot of rooms and didn’t really feel secure outside hotel at night. You have to park along street or in remote parking…
