Nice little hotel in the heart of this area! Comfortable room, easy parking, nice staff and great pricing. No complaints and would
stay again if in the area.
The bed was very comfortable, room very clean, great water pressure, nice view from the balcony, friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely stay again.
The room was great -we stayed in the king room with the front and corner view it was a spectacular sight to wake up to every morning seeing Bolt Castle and watching the boats and ships pass through the bay. The staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay there again.
The room was large, clean and looked newly renovated. Front desk staff was very helpful.

The hotel is located in a perfect spot right in town right close next to the uncle Sam boat tours. Close to shops and restaurants. Everything is in walking distance and nice views of Boldt castle. We’ll definitely stay here again.
