Clean rooms, quiet location, walkable to ferry and restaurants.
It was a very nice and clean experience. The reception desk was very prompt with check in and parking was very easy. We enjoyed the pool after a day out seeing attractions. We will definitely stay again when we are in the area.
It was a perfect spot right next to the bridge, right across the street from the bridge. It was also walking distance to downtown. We also like it was family/privately owned. We did have issue with our toilet.
Clean comfortable room. The walls are thin so you can hear a lot but the neighbors didn’t disturb us. No onsite dining. Swimming pool is small but 9’ deep
This was an amazing place to stay. Very clean rooms. Beautiful views. Right across the street from the bridge. Two blocks from downtown. We will most definitely be back. Thank you again for an amazing visit.
Even though an older property it was well maintained. We loved the fact that we were able to park our car and not move it for the entirety of our stay. Just across the street from the beach and bridge and about a 5 minute walk to downtown, the ferry and plenty of restaurants.
The front desk staff was friendly and answered the phone late in the evening when we had a question.
Bed was comfortable and the pool free of any debris.
A hidden gem
