Good location but moldy

The location and view of the bay was great. The newer decor in main room attractive and comfortable. Biggest problem was lack of cleanliness in bathroom. There is mold on the ceiling and the walls are dirty. The glass shower doors and their tracks were not clean. The refrigerator and microwave smelled terrible. So if you are concerned about bad smells and visible mold, avoid this location.

Good but short stay

The hotel is very nice, efficient and clean. The only thing that I didn’t like was the check out time, it’s at 10am. Too early!

Great cozy little older place. We liked it much better than the normal newer mega hotels that just feel cheap. Would definitely recommend if you want a cozy place with a great view of the bay. I enjoyed sitting on the porch drinking my tea (great tea selection) and taking in the nice views. Very relaxing.

Not bad

Not sure where the photos of the nice lobby were taken, but it wasn’t anything we saw… the room was fine but had very thin walls. They actually left us earplugs on the desk which I thought was very strange. The beds were very comfortable, shower needs to be recalled and the wallpaper was peeling off the wall. Exterior leaves much to be desired, but the drive to town was easy.
