"Loved the shower rooms off the lobby. Was able to take a shower after checking out before the evening ferry. Loved the quiet patio space. Loved the AC in the room and very comfortable bed. Loved wine hour. Morning coffee was tasty. Breakfast was nothing to write home about. Could have used one more staff member at desk around ferry times/check in and out. Overall would stay here again!"
