Nice little Inn. Not modern, but vibes of a home, and well loved. Off the beaten (and worn) path down at the Spit, which suited us fine. Great pizza down the street, and a fine arts gallery next door. Good spot, good stop. If we ever make it back, you’ll find us here.

Running refrigerator OR ASMR

Cute room, King size bed is comprized of two mattresses put together so sleeping in the middle can get you sore after a bit. There is a small refrigerator that also turns on every 15 minutes that is located right next to the bed so it might wake you up at night like it did me. Good space for parking. Overall the room was a great location and gave us a roof over our head after a long day of fishing.
