We have stayed here previously and appreciate the location along the harbor and the ocean view. Rooms are clean, but some furniture is showing its age and needs to be replaced. For example, the vinyl arms on the desk chair were very cracked and one kept falling off the chair, and the wood underneath the fridge was falling apart. However, the room was a good value for a midweek stay, and the nearby restaurants are within walking distance. We will return again.
Beautiful sunset view from our room

It is very apparent that this hotel is closing. There is much needed upgrades throughout the hotel and it doesn't appear that they will be upgrading prior to their close date. We used to really enjoy this place. The last 3 times we have been here there has been some sort of water leak adjacent to the breakfast room. Although we have enjoyed our 8 stays, we will not be back. Maybe when they rebuild it will be more suitable.

Clean room, just aged. Even though it is now “non-smoking”, reminiscence of smoking in the past is still in the curtains & carpet. Slept with the balcony open. The location can’t be beat. Would stay again but in a room that was never a smoking room.

The staff was lovely, the room was decent, the bed was very comfortable, I slept so so good. Breakfast was included which was nice, we were hoping for some protein in the mix but it was mainly cereal, oatmeal, bagels and muffins. As a couple who don't eat many carbs, there wasn't much to choose from but we made it work. The place overall feels a little dated but the Inn as a whole was good for the price and we loved it was in walking distance to the harbor and alot of other great spots. If you're looking for a reasonably priced spot near the harbor this is a good choice.
