In a town where nearly all the lodgings consist of former seamen's homes, this hotel converted from a gutted former tavern- boardinghouse stands out as a modern and welcome alternative. It's what passes for a boutique hotel in these parts, offering an updated look, rooms that are wheelchair-accessible, an elevator, and wiring for high-speed Internet access -- amenities you don't often find in small-town Nova Scotia. Rooms are furnished in pleasant carpeting, and the queen and king beds wouldn't look out of place in a New York hotel. Yet there are also thoughtfully homey touches such as wood-laminate floors and a stuffed teddy bear (or two) placed in each room. (Pets are welcomed with open paws, as well.) The smallish bathrooms feature pedestal sinks and all-new fixtures. No two rooms are laid out exactly alike, so examine a couple if possible to get the configuration you want -- some rooms have Jacuzzis, some feature knockout harbor views, and there are two bi-level loft suites with the beds up small sets of stairs. The Arms also added a spa featuring Aveda products in 2006; its facilities include a soaker tub, a hot tub, and aromatherapy-delivering steam showers. The hotel restaurant, Tin Fish , is very good.
