“The setting is undeniably special, nestled in a bay accessible by ferry or seaplane, and the Arts & Crafts architecture has undeniable charm; the marina access and West Coast dining also stand out. However, reports of dated rooms and inconsistent service raise concerns about value for money. While the location and potential are considerable, improvements are needed to justify the cost.”
