We enjoyed our two night stay immensely. How could we not, with a lovely view of Good Harbor Beach and a seven minute walk to get there. The staff was EXTREMELY helpful and welcoming. The property is clean, attractive and well maintained and the Continental Breakfast was well-stocked and appreciated. The ONLY downsides: the water, which took several minutes to get hot (which they made us aware of at check-in) and the shower which was a bit crowded with the soap dispensers on the wall. And if you're a smoker, you're asked not to smoke even outside on the deck - which my wife found disappointing as we sat and watched the sun go down. Smoking is allowed only in one designated area in the rear of the property.
