Bed was comfortable. Room had a lot of light. Bath had Aveda products but they looked a little old. Quality towels and sheets. Room came with a microwave, small fridge, nice flatscreen TV and coffee pot. Check-in and check-out were super easy. They have a lovely garden outside in the middle of the hotel with koi ponds, a gazebo and tables and chairs to relax. Free breakfast was available but we slept in and missed it so can't comment on it. Wi-fi is free and so is parking. They don't accept debit cards so have your credit card handy. Would definitely stay here again.

I have already left a review on Google but I felt like it was my duty to really expand on it here…read more This place is absolutely TERRIBLE. We showed up for our reservation with a party of 6 and there was no one at the desk - just a sign that said that there was no receptionist and to call a number. But lo and behold, when you call the number it just rings a cell phone on the front desk! Waited for an hour before a "manager" showed up. His first question was "what time is it?" before attempting the most half-hearted of half-assed attempts to assauge the many angry guests in the lobby. At some point he told all of us that the rooms weren't ready, they won't be ready any time soon, and that it is what it is. Did I mention he reeked of alcohol? After about 10 minutes he seemed he had enough of this whole ordeal and sped off on his golf cart. I counted at least 4-5 other groups, each with probably worse stories than ours. Showed up on time to their reservation, no one responding to them for hours, before an aggressive and confrontational man did. A lady, Erica, finally showed up to try and fix everything that had happened, but you could already see how far south things had gone. The only phone line was being left unmonitored for the entire day (a busy Saturday weekend). Guestrooms that you could literally just walk into, in various states of disrepair, some having been clearly left for multiple days with garbage piling up into the corners. Erica told us her partner, the owners nephew, was coming over to remedy the situation - but that it would still take another 2-3 hours. Erica eventually managed to get us some bedsheets and toiletries. But even after we personally lined all the beds and threw out all the garbage, it was still way too gross to sleep in. So we left. Got back on the ferry, cancelled a weekend trip and just - left. It's crazy. You pay $300+ a night for a room and you get service worse than a dive motel. I'm sorry but avoid avoid avoid. We spoke to multiple people who had come by who all voiced their concern that management had gone extremely south. Owners, if you're reading this - take control of your business before its too late. And Erica, bless your heart - but run far far away from this, for your own sake.

The location is super. Your view is a quiet marina and the mountains and ocean surrounding. See my photo. We got our exercise walking up and down the stairs several times a day to chill on the dock and relax. The hotel rents boats and kayaks but we didn't partake this time. Our room was very spacious and was clean. The king bed was comfy and there was lots of room for luggage. The bathroom was big too and seems fairly recently reno'd. There is a jetted bathtub but unfortunately the night we tried to use it we ran out of hot water before it could fill. The kitchen has a full sized fridge and dishwasher but isn't fully stocked. For example, there were no paper towels, recycling bin, or ice or ice cube tray. We had to buy ice from a bar around the way. The BBQ worked very well! The room was somewhat dated in terms of decor, especially for the price, I would expect a bit more. We used the hot tub daily. The sun deck area has a beautiful view but sadly, only 2 lounge chairs on their last legs. As we treated the trip as "glamping" this was not a huge bother but those expecting a 5 star resort should lower their expectations. Overall, I would return as the setting and vacation was enjoyable for us and we felt very comfortable at the resort. I could have used another day!

We did not have breakfast here as we were hurrying to our next destination. Give yourself more time than expected as there was a line when we were checking out around 9 am. There is free parking on site which is always very convenient, and pets are allowed here too. There is a pool with water slide and a hot tub. The place was packed with people, especially children since it was the last week of Spring break, There is also a gym here. Our room was surprisingly big. There was a sitting area with sofa and fireplace. There was also a microwave besides the usual fridge and coffee maker. No bottled water. The bathroom was equally spacious with a big bath tub and seating area. You could fit two in it. Same with the separate shower area. I do not understand why there are showerheads on both ends though, Maybe to save time if you are there with a partner to shower? Checking in and out was quite a breeze. No issue on that. Free wifi, not spotty at all.

There is a pool and looking inside the pool, it looks clean and decent. The bathroom is a good size and is quite spacious. I am surprised that the rooms in the inn wasn't too hot. I think it helps when it is surrounded by lots of trees/greens. Yes there is no air conditioning in the rooms but they do provide a fan. One thing that surprised me was that there isn't a lot of cars parked in the parking lot but the inn itself was sold out and there are no frequency. Location wise is pretty good. It is about 15 mins walk to the seawall/Gibson Landing area. Drive to the ferry is about 15 mins. The room we stayed in came with a microwave, toaster oven, fridge, sink and two stove burners (that we didn't expect). Cutleries and plates are provided as well. The bed was not bad. It was comfy. Yes there is a TV in the room. I believe there are some long term tenants living in the inn and some short terms as well. We stayed here for 4 nights. Overall it was ok. This is a family ran business. I am guessing the family lives here. It was cute to see pet birds in a cage in the front. There is no room service here. If you requires towel or extra toiletries, you will need to request that. Overall, it was ok.

The guy on graveyard was super awesome. He came to the front desk right away at close to midnight. He offered $105 for a room with a queen bed and gave us directions to the room, walking us halfway there. Our room came with a kitchenette, and I learned all rooms here do. Hardwood floors with tile at the entry and bath. Room was clean, although a little rough around the edges. Some paint, replace the burnt out light bulbs and small repairs and it would be perfect. Nothing to complain about as we could still see in the bath. Bed was quite comfortable. We slept like logs. Toilitries provided were just shampoo, conditioner and bar soap but again, nothing to complain about for a small place and the price. Blow dryer provided but no hot air and after 15 minutes of trying to blow dry my short hair, I gave up. They have an outdoor pool, free wifi, free parking and some rooms have fireplaces. We didn't try out the pool. Close to the ferry and definitely would stay here again.
