The only 2 complaints are the room is pretty small, and the windows are single pane. Ferry traffic can be loud. But overall, great service and the Reno’s are awesome. Best shower ever!

The room was great, but for a king size room it lacked a comfortable chair to sit in if you wanted to read or watch tv. The chair reminded me of something used for seating in a high school gymnasium.The staff was amazing and very helpful, the new renovations were nice, and the view was wonderful.
View from king size bedroom. Very quiet and we enjoyed watching the ferry come in.
