Clean & quiet I did not see any staff present during our brief 1 night stay The parking could be better. They apparently allowed a kayak boat trailer to take up one of the very few parking spaces near our room so we had to park on the street in front of the hotel which I was not anywhere close to our room.

The location and grounds of hotel are wonderful, quiet and peaceful. The room itself was disappointing: Sink was clogged, took good 15 minutes of manipulation to make it work. No hot water in the shower, just warm and in our “romantic shower for two” one side of shower wasn’t working properly Cheep microfiber bedding Not very clean, we had to have our son to wear shoes all the time, because after one hour of barefoot his soles were super dirty. Shower had hair on the wall and bathroom baseboards are super dusty. Soundproof is bad too, we stayed on the lower level and could hear everything what was going on above us, and people weren’t loud just doing regular things.

First of all, getting in was a pain. You can’t check in till 4:00 and the code didn’t work on the door. We had to wait some time and 3 call backs to finally get in. The room was super cute, quiet and comfortable. There is no shower, just a large tub, which is fine, but the water doesn’t get hot hot enough to fill it and be warm. All in all, we had a great time watching the birds, seals and otters out the big front windows.

I regret booking here. We stayed in the old blue house, which creaks and kind of smells. There are no staff on site, so although they put in writing everywhere to contact them, what can really be fixed via phone? When checking in, my daughter needed the bathroom desperately. The check in agent on the phone would not give us the code to get in the room until after i gave my credit card. I had prepaid, mind you, so why not respond graciously so my daughter could go to the bathroom? Also, he was hard to understand. When we got into the room, the window was open and it was cold and damp. If you like old rooms and antiques and want to be left alone in the fog and drizzle to write a book, maybe you will be happy here. I was not.

This place is really nice. The only downside is it is REALLY quiet throughout the building. And there's a "quiet time" from 9pm to 9am. I mean it is QUIET and the walls are pretty thin. So (if you're a considerate person) you're basically whispering if you are talking with whoever you're sharing the room with. Like not even using an "inside voice" because you feel like you're going to bother other guests. We didn't even turn on the TV at night because we felt like others might hear it even at a low volume. That's a bit of an inconvenience. But if you're a quiet person/couple it would probably actually be ideal.
