Room was older than we expected but safe and a good location. Smelled a bit musty but aired out easily. Excellent value for waiting for an early morning kayak departure.

Stayed for four nights. Room was dated but very clean and comfortable. I found the “welcome” email I received right when I booked a little aggressive, but did not have a negative experience at all. Both people I interacted with were fabulous and friendly!! Would definitely stay again!!
