Eclectic vibe. We really enjoyed our 2 night stay. Staff were great! The on-site Pub was a good time. Rooms were very clean and beds were comfortable. Very walkable to harbor area. Close to Beacon Hill park, which is a wonderful walking place. No elevator, if that's a concern.
This classic property is located near parks, water, downtown, etc. it has an on-site pub and cafe. I had several meals in the cafe and they were good. I would definitely stay again.
