We did not see any staff except the maids for about 10 mins. The space was very small, but thats ok. We spent our time sightseeing n just used the space to sleep. The sunrise n sunset views are beautiful n majestic. Everything around this small town closed really early, around 5:00pm. Get everything you need before then or bring it with you. The best thing is it is right next to the water.

Room had a bad smell. Like someone was smoking couple of minutes before I go there. Pillows had some fur or hair. Lock didn’t work properly.

This property was great unless you have kids. We had a 2y/o and everyone there was up at 4am yelling and stomping around and the floors were paper thin. The people above us woke up fighting and then loud trucks at 5am it was awful. But very clean hotel.

Enjoyed our visit. Beautiful sunrise, fun to watch the fishing boats come and go. We stopped here as a midway point for exploring the peninsula. Value was good, we had a great room upstairs at the end facing marina. Kitchenette that we forgot to prep to use. A fishing town, so not fancy but was comfortable, clean and friendly.

Very clean & cozy

I was hesitant when we pulled up to the property. It's older and it a little fishing bay. But the room was VERY clean, and I am picky about cleanliness. It's older, so there is rust and weird caulk in places but it was so clean. It is also really cozy. I wanted to go somewhere else with a bigger bed for me, my husband, but it was fine. The TV is in the kitchen, so no watching TV in bed, but it was really nice to be at a place that felt comfy. I would stay here again.

Property is set in a quaint town with very nice and hospitable people. The view from our unit was spectacular. Looking at the water across to Canada and fishing boats on the water was a very scenic view.

This is a basic hotel with nothing fancy. Our double-bed room had a kitchenette, breakfast table and very small shower. It is in a very small fishing village.
