The property is a little dated. Water in the shower was erratic. Linda, the owner, was very helpful. Don't know how she has the energy to do everything she has to do.

Such a charming old hotel with lots of history. Comfortable sleep and wonderful breakfast included in a huge dining area. However there are no elevators and our room was in 2nd story so not wheelchair friendly

Overall it was OK. The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. Staff were very friendly and the continental breakfast was OK, but no dali and cheese. The bathrooms were extremely small, but since it’s a heritage building, we understand the limitation—just something future guests should be aware of. One issue: the gutters right outside our window dripped all night. It was loud and made it hard to sleep.

We stayed at the Inn because of its reasonable cost and its proximity to the ferry across to PEI. It is also within easy walking distance to good restaurants on the harbor.
The Inn is close to the charming harbor.

The check in was delightful. We were given helpful information on dining options and places to see around town. While we were not able to stay for breakfast, one was offered for those who didn’t have to leave a the break of dawn. The hotel had a cozy common living space, plenty of parking, and was about 300 metres from an ev charging station. Our room was on the top floor and despite being in the middle of an intense heat wave, we only needed to open the windows to get a beautiful breeze- no need for the air conditioner that was in the room!
