Great unique b and b type of place. Self check in was great. Great views, nice staff. Just wish check in wasn’t so late (5pm) and check out so early (10am), but they did let me in early and said I could hang out after 10am so that worked out, in the end… Great vibe.

Great B&B! The breakfasts were really wonderful - freshly and individually prepared. The staff was great, too. Helpful but gave you plenty of space. Good location for historic downtown and walking distance to the wharf.
