In the off season. Im in town on work. I got a 1 br suite with kitchen and couch for 80$ per night. Clean quiet place with free parking. Ive been staying in the old port and parking is always an extra expense. So the place is nice, free parking and affordable. Good quality for the price. Ill be back!
