Our room was clean and comfortable. The bakery next door was a great place to grab breakfast and it was an easy walk or drive to downtown and the ferries.

Our room was right next to the ice machine, it sounded like it was inside the room, it dropped fresh ice continually. No dining on site, the next door place was great for breakfast but closed in the afternoon.
