The location is AMAZING. It is close to a lot of dining options and excursions. Rooms were spacious and clean. The staff was friendly and gave me an available room upon my early arrival at noon.
The room was not perfect. The fridge did not have a freezer unit. I was told freezers were not available . The carafe at the water station was small and ice was only available on every other floor. It was inconvenient.

Fantastic stay near the harbor

amazing hospitalitygreat harboursideeasy mealsqueaky springs
I was charmed by the location near the water. It was super convenient. I especially loved how close i was to the waterfront for walking. The proximity to dining options made meals easy and accessible. The staff showed amazing hospitality. i also found a little gift store where i did some quick shopping
I found that the mattress wasn't particularly comfortable. The springs made a squeaky noise with every move. it was a minor inconvenience, but affected my sleep quality.
