Reviews for the accommodations were a bit more mixed: Some said their digs were clean and comfortable, while others lamented their small size and recommended booking a room that doesn't overlook the street to avoid disruptive neighborhood noise.
Condé Nast Traveler "A decidedly more modern personality with nautical vibes...it's one of the better high-end hotels in the Old Port and its character shines through in a way it doesn't always at bigger chains." Full review
Frommer's "The interior courtyard throws off European ambience; large rooms are furnished with queen- and king-size beds and spacious work desks. Even the standard rooms are outfitted with armoires" Full review
