Lots of space for our family. Front desk staff were always welcoming and very helpful. Great location - we walked everywhere (even to the Breakers Mansion).
Lovely winter getaway. The room was so spacious and the kitchen allowed us to save on dinner/breakfast and enjoy the room and pool more. The pool was walk-right-in warm and a huge hit with our tween. The staff was so kind and helpful.

Nice location. Staff was very friendly. A large amount of space all the rooms.
This is my first time staying at the Wellington. It is actually a beautiful piece of property. I will stay there again. The front desk staff was very pleasant when we arrived and very helpful.
Rental was large and comfy! Guy checking us in was ok, but lady checking us out was awesome! Super large kitchen, but no stove. 2 bathrooms made it amazing!

Plenty of parking; Rooms were large. Decor was dated though and check in confusing
Beautiful area. Staff is always very friendly and welcoming. Grounds are beautifully kept, and you can't beat the view of the harbor.

Room was great. 2 Bedroom 2 Bath With Kitchen, washer dryer!!!(bigger than we needed for 2) Beautiful view.. Location is good. Some walking but not too far! This would be a great room if traveling with family. We will be looking to stay again, and will bring family.
Great resort, lovely views of the harbour and bridge. Very spacious, comfortable beds and plenty of free parking.
Lovely staff would stay again.
Only possible negative was no standard oven and the usual lack of a kettle which coming from the UK we are used to but we were able to heat water in the microwave so did not miss out on our cuppa!
