The pool area was perfect for a warm day. The staff is very amenable and provided a nice breakfast. The inn is in a great location - a short walk to the beach and Sterns Wharf, but far enough away from the Main Street that it was really quiet. ##### Emily Stayed 1 night in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rowena 3 Mar 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very clean, friendly staff and close to beach, shops and restaurants.

Staff was super helpful and customer service oriented. Pool was nice, jacuzzi looked great and is separate from the pool - I actually liked this. We had a basic king size room and it was HUGE. Had a living room space with table to eat breakfast and couch with a decent sized tv which had chrome cast. Bathroom was clean, and had plenty of towels. Bed was very comfortable. Location is AMAZING. 13min walk from Funk Zone, and 4min from the beach. ##### Irene Stayed 1 night in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynn 9 Mar 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We enjoyed the location and walked to the beach, wharf and restaurants and drove easily to vineyards and other beaches. We loved the free bikes, warm pool and hot tub as extra treats. The front desk staff was so helpful when we checked in, giving us lots of area info. Good breakfast. One of our two beds had an older feeling mattress that wasn’t very comfortable. We’d return there for sure. ##### Lynn Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### nancy 16 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Great location.

The hotel is very quiet (thick walls, on a side street) and clean, with nice beds. Our room had a mid-size fridge, microwave, coffee maker and all the dishes we needed. In terms of amenities, I would recommend sealing off the second bedroom door and placing a dresser/chest of drawers in that space, so guests have a place to store personal items. My only caveat about this lovely small hotel is that the hotel just changed ownership, so I don’t know if the new owners will do things differently. ##### Susan Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bonnie 4 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Lovely stay.
