"Overall happy with our stay. Registration process on site was easy; room was very comfortable with a lovely view of Frenchmans Bay from the small balcony (partial view from inside). We didn't take advantage of some amenities shared with the adjacent Bluenose Inn since so much to see and do in the area, but nice that it was available. Very timely and friendly response to issue with in-room coffee maker. Would have been more comfortable had there been a bathroom fan to exhaust the shower steam/moisture. The clerk at checkout seemed impositioned to have to address issue with the room heat we had experienced our last night as well as recurrent coffee maker issue: unfortunate as the remainder of our five night stay was very enjoyable."
