Sweet spot

I attended a wedding and this inn was within a 10 minute drive to all activities. I loved the friendly staff, the quiet street just off the main streets plus free parking. I was on my own for this trip - I felt safe and I appreciated the size and cleanliness of the room.

I thought this hotel was well located and had been updated so that the room was appealing. It was quiet and easy to park, and go to nearby restaurants and the beach. The staff was very helpful and I really enjoyed the stay.

We’ve stayed here twice. The hotel is clean but offers very little for the cost of $400 a night. No breakfast, etc. In addition, the carpet was discolored and the room was very basic.

Very quiet and clean. However if you have any sensitivities to musty/moldy spaces I would reconsider your stay. I'm very sensitive to mold and I had to change rooms (#18) because the first room I was given was intolerable. Luckily they were able to move me.

Hotel is small and quaint. Decor is rustic, and smelled a little musty. Carpet needs to be replaced. The room does not have a microwave, however the receptionist delivered a small microwave to our room when we inquired. The location is quiet, including the park. We felt safe. Walkable distance to the marina, the pier, and to State Street. The entire area is walkable with many wonderful restaurants, coffee shops and places to sit near the beach.
