This is an older place but was comfortable. My husband and I both had a great nights sleep. The gentleman that checked us in was very friendly, helpful and responsive. It was very close to the tidal bore viewing and near plenty of restaurants.

You get what you pay for, but in a good way. In other words, I wanted a cheap place to overnight, and this is the second time I've used this Inn. Staff is friendly. Facility and rooms are basic, with older and dated fixtures, but clean and quiet and fairly comfortable. Worth the money.
