The staff was super friendly (Dave). The hotel is in a quiet fishing village where you might see eagles, seal, otters and whales.

Disliked: Amenities

The property clearly exists for fishermen. While the owner is very pleasant and chatty about local attractions the property falls short for “sightseers” especially for the price. The walls are very thin and the guests next door checked in after 10pm and stomped and thumped around and I could easily make out their conversation. I will say that the bed was very comfortable!

Great service, clean room!

We booked a room here very last minute, and we got the last room available. Upon arriving, we were a little skeptical because it didn't look like anything had been renovated or replaced since the 1980s, besides the TV in the bedroom, but that actually ended up being totally fine. Everything worked well and was very clean - what more can you ask for? Great service by the staff? Yep, we got that, too. We will definitely stay here again and encourage anyone we know traveling up to the northern area of the peninsula to stay here as well.
