Birthday treat to myself
Love the location and the vibe of the hotel. Staff always friendly and helpful. Room was wonderful with a view out to the bridge and ferry bldg.
Celebrating a land mark birthday and the hotel helped make it special.

Nice hotel with limitations.
The hotel is very nice and quaint. It is clean and well maintained. However, the mattress was like a marshmallow and it was impossible to control the temperature in the room. The lack of delivery to the room from the hotel's own restaurant downstairs was not possible and was very disappointing. Also, there was no microwave in the room, the Executive Suite, which was also both surprising and disappointing.
