First impressions, carpet outside on way to room was very dirty. Our room was full of little bugs, as was the terrace. I had to ask for tissues and toilet paper. However, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The grounds were beautiful. The pool was very cold and they had some issues with it because it didnt open on time. We did however have a wonderful time.

Best Stay in the Bay!
This stay is top notch! The rooms are beautifully decorated and there is everything you need inside the room, except there is no microwave. The balcony overlooking the water is spectacular, the pool is pristine, and there is dining and shopping steps away. We will always stay at Capt. Thomson's when we visit the Bay! Highly recommended!
So beautiful day....

Nice older property. Well maintained and every room seemed to have a balcony with a view of the harbor or river. Spend the extra for the castle view. Town is nice and definitely walkable. Make sure you take the trip to Boldt Castle.

The room was very nice. 2 queen beds. Dresser with mini fridge hidden inside. Extra pillows and blankets in dresser drawers. Nice comfortable beds. Had a room on the first floor. Easy walking distance to the street of shops and restaurants. The pillows were not great nor was the pool. The pool we were told was heated. It was not. Very cold as many people noticed. The pillows when you put your head on them shrink to about 2 inches thick. The balcony has a table and 2, chairs. The room has a desk with a chair. Another chair to sit in was in the corner. No microwave but it did list the room amneties on the site. Which did not include a microwave. But I guess I was hoping they would of had one. Not much room to sit or be comfortable with 2 people. We laid on our beds to watch TV. All in all it was a nice room for my son and myself.
