Lovely Victorian facility- clean, walking distance to shops and restaurants in town. We didn’t have dinner or breakfast here, but it looked great. Jacuzzi tub was clean and a nice break from hiking and driving.

This property is well located and easy to find. Lots of dining / drinking venues within walking distance. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The receptionist however was less than welcoming.

Our double queen room was spacious and very clean. We enjoyed a nightcap at the restaurant while listening to guitar player.
The beds could be a bit softer, we did sleep well. Would stay there again.

Room was fine. I would only ask that when booking for 3 people there would be 3 bath towels.
Staff was pleasant, ample parking and safe.

My partner was spooked by the Victorian decor, but I thought it was very charming. It's in a really convenient location, close to the shore, with plenty of sidewalks and quiet streets. The tub in the unit we stayed in also had jets, which was nice for our baths.
