Room was definitely spotless. From my online research I was maybe expecting a bit more space and grandeur, but what we got was cozy, luxuriant and perfect. Lovely view of the lift bridge. Breakfast was somewhat small but had some great options. We enjoyed the fireplace, whirlpool and super comfy bed/bedding. Walked along the pier and downtown to Pickwick’s for an excellent burger. Got tickets to Glensheen at a discounted rate. Would absolutely stay again.

We had a fantastic stay! The Inn had so much charm and character. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to add an extra night to our trip. We also upgraded to the Panorama King Room, and the views were absolutely amazing — definitely worth it. Everything was mostly clean, comfortable, and welcoming. We’d recommend this place 100% and would love to come back again someday.
