You will have muffins or pastries waiting for you along with a couple of nice surprises. Tea and coffee are available at your finger tips. You can enjoy the historic Strand Entertainment District.

10/10 Recommend this stay!!!

We had a family group of 9 staying the night before our cruise and could not have been happier about our stay!! The team at the museum, especially David and our porter Dennis, we're super welcoming and helpful with information about our stay and nearby dining options. The Bonnie Brook train car was so unique and access to the museum let us get out and stretch our legs. Absolutely recommend this stay and we will likely stay again the next time we're in town.
