We loved our stay at the Waterside Inn! Granted, we came in the off season but it was so peaceful, quiet, and probably the best sleep I have had in a long time. The rooms are spacious and clean with character - I like a modern hotel but they can get a little stale and boring. It felt a little more like home here. The breakfast was delish and the gal serving was so sweet and personable. We walked out on to the pier outside of the hotel for a nice sunset. We would definitely stay here again.

A tired big old building with a beautiful view. Bed and linens, comfy and clean rug had a sour but not unbearable. Smell. Coffee pot I had cruddy black mold in the bottom. And noticed in the morning that we had no shower curtain.
