Highly recommend
I can’t emphasize enough how friendly and service oriented the staff was here. They made you feel like one of the family. While the hotel was a bit older, it was nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. My wife and I were very happy with our stay here and would recommend it to others.

Nice boutique hotel
Very friendly hotel with nice views of the city from the 6th floor. Complimentary wine tasting in the designish lobby with the fireplace is awesome. Parking for $20 per day located just opposite the hotel. 10-15 minutes by public transport to Ferry port restaurants and bars.
