Staff was friendly, breakfast is a quick granola bar and nothing much. Coffee was good. The location is safe, and there were some nice bars to see around; however, they close early. View is towards the Harbor. No cable TV, just air stations. I did not feel as comfortable as advertised for the price, and the location is farther away from the beach than I thought. Just a nice harbor stay.

Great location, expect some noise from people playing on the beach.
The cutest hotel honestly. They have their own little beach on the marina. The “breakfast” is nothing to write home about (instant oatmeal, granola bars, apple sauce, pain au chocolat, cups of fruit, if I remember correctly) but it’s super handy for on-the-go. AND—they have coffee in the lobby whenever you want. So is it a super ritzy hotel? No, but I REALLY enjoyed my stay. Rooms were clean and not old or outdated. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Honestly it was such a nice, easy stay that I almost want to leave a bad review to keep this place to myself as a little secret. I am looking forward to staying here again just to relax and enjoy the marina. Thank you, Foghorn Harbor Inn!
Quaint little place we had a nice view. We arrived early and our room was ready so the wonderful staff let us check in early .the room was nice very relaxing. Yes I would definitely recommend this hotel

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Clean rooms, spacious patio, fridge and microwave were all positives for us. We had no cold water in the sink, but the shower was fine. I had called the day before I checked in and they had informed me of some plumbing issues they were having. It wasn't enough to upset our stay - just meant we had to wash our hands super fast before they got burned, lol! The staff was wonderful, very friendly and informative. They even offered to give us our grab-and-go-breakfast early because we had a race starting before the 7:00am breakfast availability.
Calm, quiet, cozy, affordable & great location. Perfect for families & dogs. Great view of the Marina. Kayak/ paddle boards for rent on the beach. Staff was very kind & helpful.
The property was in a convenient area close to the markets and the beach. The staff were very helpful & generous it made the trip a memorable experience! I will be coming back soon!

Dirty. Poor quality. Broken stuff in the room. “Free breakfast “ was snacks and coffee from 7-9 which we missed.
It’s a small hotel with rooms facing the bay that have a balcony or patio depending on if you are first floor or 2nd floor. Rooms on orher side don’t face the water, so make sure you’re getting the one you want. I’m not picky and have nothing bad to say. I would say if you’re a hotel snob you probably wouldn’t like this place and should stay somewhere more expensive. For our budget and the location, we loved it!
Great view of Mother's Beach, the private patio is a bonus. Fridge and microwave made it nice for a longer stay. The staff was excellent!!! What could improve is outdated bathroom and included breakfast items. Overall great experience thank you!
