Not an Inn, it’s an AirBnB

It is a wonderful location but unfortunately it is not an inn, it is an AirBnB / motel setting. The property is a converted house where each bedroom has its own access code. We were looking forward to staying at an inn and this our lower rating. The property itself is great, the communication and support was exceptional.

Great B and B without the breakfast….its a do it yourself stay. Came in on a Saturday and left Monday and didn’t see nor need any staff people. Parking is a little challenging, but doable. Not luxurious but very cozy and comfortable with shops,restaurants etc in walking distance. A great 1-3 night stay on the water in Gig Harbor
