Lifeboat Inn

8/10 Good

"Great location with view of Harbor. Breakfasts were delicious but some mornings were better organized than others. Staff was friendly and helpful. Daily room cleaning was not consistent. Clean cups, glasses, sugar refills would have been nice. Room was not refreshed at all one day. Overall we enjoyed our stay."
