Nice Inn with beautiful views of the Sound

We had a beautiful room with a balcony on the Sound. The sunsets were amazing! As stated in the Inn's info, there is a smell associated with the swampy mud area near the bulkhead, but we expected itvandvwas not bother by it. The only arm chair in the room was made of poor quality. It would have been nice to have 2 nicely made chairs to enjoy sitting and chatting in the evening. The continental breakfast was a nice variety of items and the dining and food area was extremely clean. The customer service was great from check-in to check-out! We would definitely stay again and recommend the Inn to others.

Our stay was fine, however the property and rooms need a facelift. It’s very rustic and old. We had a king suite which was a large room with a pullout but the furniture, room and bathroom needed a major upgrade. The staff was excellent and super friendly and helpful and the property’s location was ideal. Central and by the water. Overall we had a pleasant stay but I don’t think I could stay there again unless they do some major renovations.

A fun, quirky hotel. The rooms were large and the bed was comfortable. I did have to ask for new sheets, as the first one had pilling. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I would definitely go back.

Hotel was nice and clean and comfortable. It was quite an old hotel with minimal upgrades. There were stairs and ramps to the room. Our room had no views but there were other rooms overlooking the waterway. Nice continental breakfast. Check-in and checkout were efficient and service at the breakfast was great.
