8.2/10 Very Good! (1,005 reviews)
"The hotel was a little odd, quirky, like a maze but clean and comfortable. Although I didn't use it, it had a nice hot tub. Breakfast was one step up from being a continental with frozen sandwiches to heat up in a microwave. The room/bed was comfortable."

"Centrally located in the Old Port, with views of the harbor, this was a last minute — therefore pricey — excellent find for a fall weekend getaway.
