Great option for price
Great location and modern rooms for the older building. Only complaint was the fragrance of cleaner was pretty strong (scented) and it was too much for me.

Wonderful one night stay, we checked in late and was able to utilize the no contact check in which was nice. Room was beautiful and clean, robes were very comfortable and it left us wanting to return for a several night stay…not to mention you’re across the street from the water which was beautiful both at night and in the morning.

Holiday stay
Very gracious helpful staff. Only complaint was our room was at 60 degrees and not warm when we arrived 8:30 pm I feel once the room is charged they should check temp of room to prepare. Also ice we didn’t know where or if there was a ice machine or how to get ice Manager was accommodating when asking for help
I would definitely stay again! Great view

Room with a view
This inn was a remarkable gem in just the right spot. It said partial view of the harbor which meant we had to stand on a chair in bathroom right? Wrong, It had a great view in our opinion.

Very clean, and clearly renovated. The paint, floors, and everything was new. Private parking. Very convenient to scenic spots and restaurants. Don’t expect breakfast but wonderful eats right next door. Yes all the rooms have a water view but there is a 4 way intersection and piers between the hotel and the water.
