Loved my stay. Gorgeous view from my room directly to the bay. Very clean and cozy. Great location with lots of parking. Cafe for coffee and breakfast is just a few feet away. Take a selfie with the local iconic bearcow or is it a cowbear? Lol.

No microwave in the room. The refrigerator was in the bathroom. But it's quiet and the staff was very helpful. Ask what is included in the room to make sure you have a great stay.

Room Blinds had black mold on them. Sink rusted at drain. Window above bed in Room 101 is cracked. Love this place! Been going here for years. Slipping abit since new management. No quaint wine and snacks anymore instead they give wine tickets for a bar. Bars are not our style so we opted out. I hope they get it... read full comment
