My stay at the hotel was simply amazing. The rooms were cozy and clean with all the necessary amenities, including a lovely porch area offering stunning harbor views. The spa, although I didn't use it, seemed like a nice touch. It was the ideal spot for our December anniversary getaway, featuring a luxurious garden tub, a spacious shower, and even a mini-kitchen that was spotlessly clean. The antique furnishings, hot tub, and breathtaking view truly surpassed all expectations.

I had the perfect December anniversary getaway at this lovely cottage facing the bay. The room had the softest sheets ever, a nice luxury garden tub, a huge shower, and a mini-kitchen with a fridge - all spotlessly clean. It was absolutely perfect for the girls to get ready in the morning.

My stay at the hotel was simply wonderful. The room, although cozy, had a private sitting area outside with great harbor views. The furniture cushions had some cat hair, which was a downside, but overall, the porch area and spa made the stay enjoyable. The service was a bit overwhelming for the staff, but they were still attentive and accommodating. The location was perfect, steps away from the beach and close to great eateries. The dining experience was average, with room for improvement in quality. The facilities were well-maintained, adding to the pleasant overall experience.

I had a delightful stay at this charming hotel. The rooms were quaint with wonderful beds, making our accommodation very comfortable. The staff at this hotel are always friendly, positive, and helpful, adding a warm touch to the experience. The location is excellent, with stunning views from the porches and a lovely ambiance that is very convenient for exploring the downtown area. The dining experience, however, was less than impressive, but overall, it's a great value for a luxurious experience.
