10/10 Excellent
"Checked in about an hr late- no problems whatsoever. The establishment is older and dated but the rooms are cozy and CLEAN! The bathroom was meticulous which is a huge plus for me. There was only one innkeeper we met who did everything from running the front desk to cleaning and maintaining the rooms. I forget her name, but she’s the sweetest person. The location is diagonally across the street from the train station and mere minutes to walk to multiple bars/ establishments. The continental breakfast was basic but good, the WiFi is a bit slow but we were water facing and downhill from the majority of the establishment. My partner and I were very impressed & would stay here again."

"The property was as described—I didn’t read closely—no dishwasher and not listed in amenities ( referenced in email check out process) my fault and took daughters back to older days—no a/c but fans that worked for night and fortunately spent most days away from rental. With minor exceptions the house worked well for what we needed (6 bedroom and game room—grill. Be sure to bring all food supplies—store across the street limited supplies and more limited hours of operation"
