Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were beautiful and so comfortable, but a bit on the old side and felt tight for the price we paid. The shared shower and bathroom were located on the second floor, which was a bit inconvenient.
I had a cozy stay at the Moby Dick Jr Suite, where the pillows were surprisingly comfy for a tight room at $450/night. The small space was a bit cramped, but the snug ambiance made up for it. The location was excellent, just a block away from shops and restaurants in a quiet street, and the service was accommodating with amenities like dry cleaning, housekeeping, and a warm welcome drink.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The location was perfect, right in historic downtown close to everything. The rooms were comfortable, beautifully decorated to match the island vibe, and equipped with everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The welcome drink and daily amenities like chocolates and robes added a special touch. However, the room was on the small side. The dining experience offered a delightful selection to start the day and warm cookies in the afternoon, but the price was a bit high.
My stay at this hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were spacious and had all the amenities one would need, with a lovely view of the harbor. It was a bit on the old side but managed to exude a romantic and quiet charm. The location was excellent, providing easy access to historic downtown and its attractions, although the room itself was a bit small. The dining options were adequate but could have offered more variety. The service was top-notch, and the staff was accommodating and friendly.
The hotel offers a cozy stay with beautiful room touches and great proximity to downtown attractions, although shared bathroom facilities may not suit all guests. Service is accommodating, and dining options are varied but could use improvement. The location is excellent for exploring historic downtown with ease.
I couldn't believe how cozy and comfy our room was! The pillows were a pleasant surprise, ensuring a good night's sleep. On the downside, it was the smallest room I've ever been in for lounging, but it had its own shower/bathroom.
