    Had character, friendly staff

    Loved the location in town, easy to walk anywhere we wanted to go. Staff was wonderful and friendly. Overall good value.

    Room was a decent size, but wish the balcony was cleaner. Whenever we went outside tracked in a lot of dirt/small gravel no matter how hard we tried not to. Also wish part of the restaurant balcony was open to just guests hanging out and relaxing.

    10BenjaminPosted on: 7-16-2026

    The kind and friendly staff and the location.

    No, this was a wonderful hotel, and I will definitely stay here again!

    The hotel is so unique we loved it!

    10Mary K.Posted on: 1-19-2026

    The location is excellent. It is right on the water and great for watching boats and float plane come in and out of the small marina there. We loved being there. The sushi restaurant downstairs was open the night of our arrival so we ate there that night. It's closed Wed and Thursday. That's good to know because it's a great restaurant. The deck outside gave you a view of the water while eating.

    I can't think of anything.

    Lovely location and fantastic balcony. The restaurant was delicious!

    The bed could be better. It was quite low and extremely soft (worn).

    8DalePosted on: 8-25-2025

    View of the water and boats. Quiet. Walkable through the town. Stars. Sunsets!

    Sewer gas coming up through bathtub.

    10ClairePosted on: 8-18-2025

    Beautiful view from deck outside my room, clean facilities, and helpful and friendly staff. Also a walkable location.

    Could use a little updating, however it did not affect the pleasant experience of staying at the Inn.

    10TamaraPosted on: 8-14-2025

    Great location. Cute room with a large bathroom

    private and excellent bay view

    Big bath tub and nice balcony

    8KimberlyPosted on: 8-4-2025

    We had a lovely room with windows overlooking the water. The details of the windows, furnishings and colors were delightful. Our room was spotless.

    With the non-utilitarian furnishings, we didn't have room to put our suitcases, so it felt cramped. There are no screens on the doors or windows to keep mosquitoes out, so we had to run the A/C instead. The floor of the tub/shower did not have a non-slip surface, which could have been disastrous for someone.

    8AdnanPosted on: 8-2-2025

    Location, cleanness

    The room were small, simple furnishings, though good enough for one or two days stay

    10CatherinePosted on: 7-28-2025

    The building is older and solidly built so there's no need for noisy AC. Peace! There's a heater for winter months which would be super cosy.The location is fantastic, we never tired of the view. The bed is enormous and the bed and bedding really, really comfy.The bath is huge and really appreciated after a body day exploring trails. The room had everything we needed. Car park was appreciated.

    It may not be for guests with mobility issues as there are stairs to the rooms and more stairs to the car park.
