Stay before my fishing trip
Nice place right next to H&M Landing, so really convenient for those going on a fishing trip. Great food within walking distance for great seafood and a nice brewery for some libations. Room was comfortable and clean, bed was good. It’s an older hotel but the keep it up and parking is easy.

Great little hidden gem
Nice quiet retro hotel in the middle of a very busy area. Easy walk to local amenities, easy parking (lot was full by 10PM tho) and the kitchenette room was nice for the price. This was a a little lower than other hotels in the area, would def stay there again.

A little getaway before school starts
As always what a Great place to stay. The front desk staff were polite and courteous. Very Helpful. Our room was very clean and smelled fresh. We love the area because of what is around it. The harbor, restaurants, stores and fishing pier around the corner.
Planning our 40th anniversary here in January. Can't wait 😁🌸👍
