Breakfast was great. Flooring in room was poor and we were told that the 2 person tub wasn’t to be used after 10:30 pm? Stayed here the night of our wedding , used the tub anyway. Bed was extremely hard.

The room with 2 queen beds was nice. The AC unit was loud. The beds were hard and uncomfortable. The twin bed was in an alcove outside the bedroom- by the entrance door, the bathroom and the fridge. It was clean, but a hard mattress. It rained one night and water from the roof fell just outside the window onto the metal roof. Very loud, hard to sleep in the alcove. Thankfully it only rained one night.

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.
