The location was great. Right on the water, near the harbor and center of town. The rooms could use an upgrade. We were able to bring our dog which was fantastic! But the room did have a scent from prior dogs but it was manageable and we didn’t really spend much time in the room anyway. Staff was super friendly. The bar tender was also helpful and friendly. Over all we had a good stay here.

It’s a rather dated place, but serviceable. We enjoyed the jetted tub in our room! The breakfast was nothing to write home about. I had a good meal at the restaurant but my husband did not. Loved the end unit with windows on both sides & view of small boats entering the harbor. Staff was helpful when we had questions.
