Clean room, just aged. Even though it is now “non-smoking”, reminiscence of smoking in the past is still in the curtains & carpet. Slept with the balcony open. The location can’t be beat. Would stay again but in a room that was never a smoking room.

The staff was lovely, the room was decent, the bed was very comfortable, I slept so so good. Breakfast was included which was nice, we were hoping for some protein in the mix but it was mainly cereal, oatmeal, bagels and muffins. As a couple who don't eat many carbs, there wasn't much to choose from but we made it work. The place overall feels a little dated but the Inn as a whole was good for the price and we loved it was in walking distance to the harbor and alot of other great spots. If you're looking for a reasonably priced spot near the harbor this is a good choice.
