Next to the lobby are a well-equipped fitness center and a modest business center with one computer. A 256-slip, full-service marina lies just outside, creating a nice view from the harbor-facing guest rooms.The free perks at Henderson’s Wharf are plentiful. A butler will help with luggage, run a hot bath, deliver chamomile tea, or provide turndown service.
