Breakfast was good once I was informed it was from scratch and produced generally locally. Loved the location. Next time, will save up my pennies and try to book a room with water view.

Location was prime as I was in town to watch ship traffic and get some good food. Lexi at the front desk was such a sweet girl and wonderful to chat with. If I come across another deal to stay here, I will.
