Not an Inn, it’s an AirBnB

It is a wonderful location but unfortunately it is not an inn, it is an AirBnB / motel setting. The property is a converted house where each bedroom has its own access code. We were looking forward to staying at an inn and this our lower rating. The property itself is great, the communication and support was exceptional.

Great B and B without the breakfast….its a do it yourself stay. Came in on a Saturday and left Monday and didn’t see nor need any staff people. Parking is a little challenging, but doable. Not luxurious but very cozy and comfortable with shops,restaurants etc in walking distance. A great 1-3 night stay on the water in Gig Harbor

Disliked: Amenities
First it is not an Inn! It is a house with 6 rooms. We stayed in 1 of the lower level lake front rooms. I would recommend not even trying to park in the lower level 2 parking spots. Find a spot at street level. I entered the driveway to go down and could only see sky and trees, then drop down a VERY steep driveway and need to angle left to park in the designated spot. Getting luggage across the steep driveway and then down the stairs was difficult. The room felt cramped and crowded with 2 people in it We planned to stay 2 nights but got up left after the first night even those we were charged for 2 nights.
