Good sized rooms with comfortable bed and very clean. Great location, quiet and easy walking. Staff were pleasant and efficient. Breakfast is a little basic, bagels, toast, cereal, some fruit but fresh and pleasant to sit outside by the pool. I would have appreciated an espresso machine.

Great option with or without kids. Right across the street from the beach. They even lent us a beach umbrella! We did experience that the amount of chlorine put in the pool and hot tub was a little too much for our skin, but others may not have that issue. I would just be mindful if you have kids with sensitive skin.

Very nice hotel in a location close to the marina, beach, pier, shopping and dining options. Pool and spa a plus for touring down time. Balcony and other room associated outdoor seating was nice. The continental breakfast options were simple yet satisfying. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Great Inn by the harbor

Great little Inn right by the harbor. The beach is just across the street and dining options are walkable. The pool and hot tub were fantastic. They had coffee and tea all day and night, and they even had wine and cheese in the evening. The staff was very friendly and quick to help with anything we needed. If the hotel is full parking could be an issue, but there was plenty when we checked in.

We had a great stay the last week of July. Check in process was extremely easy and the check in host gave us information on things to do in the area. Continental breakfast was very nice. We didn’t get a chance to do their happy hour wine and cheese but such a nice opportunity for guests. Bed and room was very comfortable. The bathroom and shower were updated. We would stay here again!
