I had an amazing experience at this hotel, especially with the beautiful waterfront views and the charming, newly remodeled rooms. The staff made everything feel special, from the thoughtful decorations to the delicious breakfast. The location was perfect for strolling into town without being caught up in the crowds. However, the walls were a bit thin, and we did have some noise from an event, which slightly interrupted our relaxation.
