Unfortunately we had no WiFi. Staff couldn’t explain why…only thing we found a bummer. Everything else was fine. Couldn’t get any more convenient to the ferry docks. Glad we beat the summer rush. Weather cooperated for the most part. Great trip!

Very Disappointed

Walls are paper thin and my room was across from the office so It was hard to relax or sleep. I was woken up at 2am from the old water pipes sounding like they were going to explode. Not worth it for how expensive it was.
