The owner and staff were very informative of the area and places to visit. The rooms were clean and well maintained. The breakfast food was great, they offered fruit medleys, yogurt, eggs, potatoes etc… Essentially any familiar favourites one might like for breakfast. Bonus: great views everywhere on the property!

When we arrived a little frazzled, Jane was amazing. She gave us all we needed to access our room and suggestions for restaurants. She even offered me food from her home if the restaurants were closed. This place had great staff, amazing views, and a nice breakfast.

Wonderful place to stay. The staff were helpful and friendly for accommodating a late check-in. The view from the place was amazing. The location was a bit further out of town than we realized but that was on us. But it was worth it for the view!

We stayed one night at this property, the inn was welcoming and the room was great. Amazing views of the water. The Breakfast was good, but could use a few tweaks - like fresh fruit, not Costco and the potatoes could be jazzed up a bit. Aside from these very minor ideas it was a great place to stay on your trip to the east coast !

Beautiful views from the balcony. Public areas very nice. Breakfast was great with a choice of cereal toast and hot selection. Our room was next to the toilets so not ideal. We were only staying one night so was adequate and bed comfortable.

Beautiful small hotel . We had a lovely view of the ocean . Beds were okay although the pillows should be replaced. A fabulous buffet breakfast with beautiful ocean views from either inside or on the terrace . The young people that work there though are amazing , kind and accommodating. Would stay again . Thank you

The desk clerk was extremely helpful during our stay. The rooms are small but feature a comfortable bed and basic amenities. Access to a free laundry room was much appreciated. The crowning feature was a delicious breakfast buffet which puts this inn into the excellent category. Some signage and hallway doors need attention. Quiet
