Great place, double check for accuracy

I would call directly to the hotel to confirm the size room. I listed 3 occupants and was given a room for 2. The hotel showed what they received from Hotels.com and it didn’t match. The Inn was clean, safe and Grace (the hotel worker) was as friendly as can be. She did all she could to make the pallet I had to make on the floor comfortable.

The rooms are clean and the front desk attendant was very nice. It's a great location with plenty of food options within walking distance. There’s a coffee shop next door, BBQ spot across the street, Indian restaurant a block away, and several seafood spots across the highway. If you feel like fishing, there's also plenty of spots across the highway at the marina. It's far enough from the city where you feel like you're away but also close enough for a nice weekend getaway.

We stayed in a double queen room on the second floor, which was very clean and spacious. The bathroom was a nice size for 2 people. The down side for us was there is no elevator so you have to carry your luggage, which is not bad if you arent carrying a lot. Also, one of our windows was broken so we couldn't open it to get the nice cool ocean breeze. The water pressure in the shower was also not very strong. The hotel is very walkable to restaurant which was great. The lobby does close so bare that in mind for late check-in. Would stay here again.

Loved our room. Newly remodeled and very cute. I really liked that there was plenty of lighting. Especially the bathroom lighting. The refrigerator was not working in our room. The property was less than 5 minutes from the harbor which had several good restaurants. We were very happy with it overall. Plenty of parking and it was free.
