Views are fantastic. Wayne is a very nice person who's been handed more than he can chew. The room was horrible. I can't speak for the rest of the Inn but do not stay in room 210. Smells very bad. Strong scent of Comet cleanser and other things. Really strong. The shower curtain is full of mold. Dirt everywhere. On the counters, floors, and sheets. I can't believe I stayed there. Price was expensive. Total rip-off.

Lovely waterfront views. The staff was very accommodating to my late check in and early check out. Plenty of parking. Loved that I had my own porch to look out onto the water, I only wish I was there for longer than a short overnight stay.

Great view, great staff

You're right on the water with a view of the sailboats and submarines. The staff is pleasant, the rooms are clean and it feels like the next best thing to being in your own home. Will definitely stay here again.

Old and not to standards of today

Lone traveler left after 30 minutes and went to a 4 star hotel for safety reasons.
