Very welcoming and helpful staff, a clean, updated Hotel in a great location. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms / showers great. Lovely towels and partial view of ocean. 5minute walk to the wharf/ ferry and restaurants. Only complaint was the traffic noise we could hear from the room when windows open. But we slept well and would happily stay here again.

Strange check-in experience. We were given probably the worst room in the hotel. It was very small and overlooked the sidewalk about 5 feet away. We said this wasn’t what we’d paid for and the front desk person said this was the only room available. I said this was a “Bait and Switch” and that we’d find another place to stay, then expect a full refund. The front desk person quickly agreed that if she was in our position she would expect a refund too. We left and were driving to another hotel when she phoned and said “another guest had agreed to vacate their room and we could now have it”. We returned and checked into a room on the second floor overlooking the harbour. It was a small room (290 square feet) and had no chairs or table. We requested some chairs and Tahoe reluctantly said she would see what she could do. We received two folding chairs. Once these issues we resolved, the room was pretty good - the king size bed was nice and the bathroom and shower were great. The view from the room was overlooking the water and was excellent.

Our room was very clean and comfortable. We requested to upgrade to a room with a view of the ocean and we’re switched over immediately. We had a beautiful view of he sunset in the evening. Slept comfortably all night.

This Inn is a gem. The checkin was pleasant, the desk clerk was friendly and helpful, and they accommodated my need for a room on the first floor. The room was clean, newly updated, and all that was required for a one-night stay. I was a bit concerned that parking is limited onsite, and I had a car full of gear I didn't want to risk. The off site parking appears to be on the street and across the road. If stairs and off site parking is an issue, contact the property. They are helpful.
