Wonderful

We really enjoyed the hotel and right downtown on the water. We dined in their restaurant that evening and it was excellent. We had the lobster tail out of the tail with 2 sides. Wonderful food and friendly staff.

Average accommodations. No major complaints but nothing specialeithet. Room layout was tight and cramped. Would have been better with just 1 bed.
Great views and location. Right next to Blue Moon Cafe which we loved. Clean and comfortable bedding. Great shower pressure. Easy check-in with friendly staff.

Parking was challenging. Their lot is small and very hilly near the street. Room was very cramped and musty.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We loved the location of The Tugboat Inn - our room was on the pier over the water. We found the room to be dated - furniture had nicks, the pictures on the walls were faded and dreary, the carpet had seen better days, and the toilet made awful noises and we discovered that the water supply was almost completely shut off and it wasn't filling up properly. Just seems like things could be updated to make the room cheerier and more up-to-date.
The location is excellant as it is close to everything including the footbridge, shops, and restaurants. Room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Would definitely return.
Amazing view, clean room, an amazing informative staff.
Very very uncomfortable beds.
Over priced restaurant with bland, fried, small portion, and way to expensive food.
An amazing informative staff
