Liked: Staff & service
Staff were helpful but the noise from drunk patrons late at night was excessive. There is also a boat business directly behind the apartments so we got that noise and smell from them during the day. On a positive note It’s definitely well located for shopping and eating We have stayed at other Nightcaps and have been happy but this is one I would not recommend.
