Great breakfast and fresh coffee. Air conditioning was great and not noisy. We did have a problem with 2 large barking dogs in the room next door when the owner left them alone. Size of dogs and amount should be considered.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms are not carpeted, so slippers are a good idea. This also contributed to more noise above us. The room was not as cozy and spacious, as I'm used to, but the beds were comfortable. The breakfast options were great. Something for every taste. I needed to use the hotspot on my phone to connect my iPad. It could be because it is a bit older. My daughter has a newer version, and she had no problems.

I wish I would have gotten the name of the person that checked us in. She was so nice and just a lovely person. The hotel is very tiny but well kept and the staff was awesome! Location was great. Lots of shopping and convenient to all that the waterfront had to offer.
