Sheets where clean, but room wasn’t dusted well enough. The whole Inn needs some upgrades and renovations or at least some repairs. Drainage, curtains, wall paint all need more attention! The best thing about the Inn was the location. The staff also nice and welcoming.

Beautiful location and clean airy room. We loved it there, walking distance to the beach and wharf (longer walk). My only complaint is the pillows! They were so big and bulky that I slept without a pillow.
