Summary: I can’t say enough good about the location of this hotel. It is literally along the harbor walkway with a view of the little bay And it is very cute and quaint outside. Other than that, it could use a lot of help. We rented the little apartment in the Inn that had one bedroom and a sitting area with a pullout couch and then upstairs had a little living room and kitchen. We were a party of three adult sisters, and there was a queen bed and a pullout bed. The pullout bed was so bad that she found it much more comfortable to sleep on the couch upstairs. It is a very old house, so just be warned that the stairs are very steep, and the floors are not all perfectly horizontal. The kitchen was partially furnished, but no forks and no butter knives at all. The shower was fine, but you had to flush the toilet at least three times to get it to actually flush. We had driven and there is no parking so you need to pay for a parking at somebody’s house/driveway that they are willing to rent. We did this online separately from the. Hotel When we arrived the hostess at their Restaurant was the one that gave me the key. No papers whatsoever and when we checked out, I had no way of finding anybody because the restaurant was closed and the doors were locked. Unfortunately it is not well run. But we did feel lucky to stay in the location. It’s a very cute little town.
