    The parking at night got full. The bathroom could get a makeover. This area smelled like weed all the time. Wish they had breakfast packed and ready to go.

    The location was centrally located. We walked to restaurants, shops, and attractions. The beds were very comfortable and it was easy to get the amenities we needed.

    It could do with a bit of modernising, but for the price, you can't complain really!

    Spacious and clean hotel room - had everything you needed! Great location too.

    The property is old and needs to be better maintained. Our room had damage to the wall. There were some minor dirt spots on the bathroom door. The beds are too firm and so was the pillows.

    The jacuzzi jets were not operating and several guests told us they had not been operating for several days prior to our arrival. This should be disclosed online.

    Our room was a pleasant surprise - larger than expected and we had a decent view of the water. Breakfast was pretty good, but the room is quite crowded which made it a little uncomfortable.

    Alittle expensive for being a inn, after 10 “quiet hours” was alittle ridiculous.

    Very clean, friendly staff and check in. The pool was clean so were the rooms. Love that they had a hot tub. Check in and out were very friendly
