Pros and Cons

Pros: Great dog friendly hotel with its own private grass area near the pool to go potty. There was a free continental breakfast... I wasnt interested in the offerings however it was free. I did like the little origami towels and tissues in the room. Close to a shopping center so if you forgot anything its like a 3 min drive.... petco is also there if you forget anything for your pup. Cons: The couch furniture was dirty with weird white and gray stains... even brown stains.... I stayed in the townhouse room 313 and I wouldnt even attempt to sit on any of the couches. The floor boards had minor scuffs which was fine. This room was super noisy... not from the neighbors but from the windows... the windows face the street and any car driving by was ridiculously loud. The bed and pillows were cheap and stiff. You would have to be dead tired to fall asleep on this bed. Also the elevator was suck open.... so trekking up to the 3rd floor was a little bit of a journey. Overall: Id be willing to stay here again for the space and the price. Location was convenient and close to the gas station and outdoor shopping center.Id probably put a sheet on the couches, bring my own pillow, and likely bring ear plugs. The stiff bed I could live with

Cute inn with perfect location

Very clean and neat inn, just outside of the shopping center which is very convenient. And 5-10 minutes from the fisherman wharf was the best. We were on a road trip, and parking was easy.

will NEVER stay again. The "heated pool" was luke warm at best. The sheets had blood stains on them. When putting the shower matt down in tub a burst of dust flew up. I asked the gal at front counter what they used to wash their bed sheets in because it caused a bad rash like an allergic reaction on grandsons' skin he had to sleep on couch, after taking a Benedril and she could care less. It was so bad I paid for 2 nights, and we left the very next morning, disappointed, and it wasn't cheap!!! stay anywhere else

Place was great, younger gal was very sweet at front desk, older woman, very rude. Elevator broke while checking out so that was a bummer, used the stairs instead. Beautiful grounds, nice hot tub, cute lounge, awesome grab and go breakfast and coffee. Location is top tier, minutes from everything. Plenty of areas to relax and enjoy your vacation with beautiful flowers, fire pits. Nothing bad to say about this place. Stay here, you will enjoy it.
