Breakfast was good, but it wasn’t free. Rooms was nice. Really good view of the harbor but the bathroom could use some remodeling.

Room was perfect! Staff was great! Only issue we went down for breakfast paid. To only be given 10 mins to get food because they were ending soon. Staff didn’t advise us. Other than that great.
