Star Service
"The warm and friendly staff provides top-notch service. This sleek operation is more affordable than the slightly overrated but more intimate Quay West. " Full review

Fodor's
"Upstairs, a wide corridor hung with chandeliers leads to generous rooms with period furnishings ... harbor views come at a slightly higher rate." Full review
