Friendly staff, quiet and affordable. Old Inn, needs some updating in bathrooms, patio chairs, can’t my of patio’s, ice machines. Overall comfortable but NO microwave! That was a real disappointment bcuz we brought home leftovers to warm. Small fix-it, lampshade had taken a beating and was barely hanging on to pole. The free breakfast was very good.

Great location right on the harbor, perfect for a nice walk with my dog. Room was a good size with a kitchenette area and it was nice to have breakfast included. However, be aware that what Expedia lists as a $50 deposit for pets is actually a non-refundable cleaning fee. I booked this hotel assuming I would get part of this cost back when deciding which lodging to stay at. I would chosen a different place due to pet fees had I known.

Good except for the verticle blinds

Everyone was very friendly, Ahim (spelling?) helped me at check in, and was very kind and assisted us on our request for 1st floor accommodations. Unfortunately, some of the verticle blinds were broken, missing, and laying on the floor upon arrival, I'm sure they are fixable, but some of the missing ones lowered the aesthetics.
