My recent stay at this charming boutique hotel was truly unforgettable. The welcoming hosts made us feel right at home and their attention to detail was evident throughout the property. I was impressed by the delicious breakfasts every morning, featuring a variety of fresh and healthy options. However, we noticed that the breakfast area was set up differently than usual due to new safety protocols, which was understandable but felt a bit less communal. Overall, it was an amazing experience worth every penny!

I had a wonderful stay at this boutique hotel, with beautifully furnished rooms that offer stunning views over the bay. The cleanliness and attention to detail were impressive, and I especially loved the delicious breakfast. However, be prepared for a steep uphill walk back from downtown establishments, and there is no on-site parking available, which can be a bit inconvenient.
