Classic Cape
Came here for a birthday getaway for the night. It was perfect! Small owner feel, beautiful, unique such a nice change from the cookie cutter hotels you find everywhere. The jetted tub was massive and such a great way to relax! The bed and pillows were comfortable and it was hard to get up the next morning. I can't wait to come back for a long weekend to enjoy all the amenities. The service at the front desk for top notch. This is a gem for sure!

Great place to stay.
Loved the property. It was right on the harbor which we enjoyed. We also enjoyed the fire pit on the chilly night. The room was clean and comfortable, the bed was too. We loved staying here and would definitely stay again

The location, staff, amenities, and property were lovely. The only thing that we didn't like was that there was a lot of noise from the adjacent rooms....could hear people talking and plumbing noise. Also, there was a lot of construction on both sides of the property that was quite noisy and actually shook the room. But, we still enjoyed it! Just something to be aware of.

The room was very small with a full size bed (expecting at least a queen) and a very hard mattress. We didn't spend much time in the room because of that. However, the Inn itself is very pretty and offered a nice continental breakfast. The room was very clean. Booked though Expedia and seems to have changed the booking to a lower level room.

Two nights, off season.. total was $731. So let me break down what this gets you. The area itself seems safe but it is run down. The hotel is walking distance about 10 minutes from a few restaurants and the ferry. The hotel itself is dated and needs maintenance. Immediate surrounds consist of construction and port authority as well as a few shanty apartments and homes. The resort fee needs to be removed as they are charging separately for wifi and water- common things that should be included in the room fee and it is at other hotels but particularly at this price. There were zero smores kits. Zero use of pool as it is cold so there is zero use of towels. The garden view is misleading. Unfortunately this hotel is price gouging its patrons.

The staff could not have been more welcoming and friendly ! I was worried about arriving later than anticipated the night we were checking in, but Mary at the front desk assured me that she would be there whatever time we arrived ! She gave my children and puppy treats on arrival. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The complimentary breakfast in the morning was lovely. The views were beautiful. We wish we could have stayed longer ! We will definitely be back!
