Leslie

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Our 2 small rooms (bedroom and kitchenette) were very clean and appeared recently painted/decorated. Each room has a window; each window looks at another nearby part of the hotel, despite being only 100 feet from the bay. There are few lodging options in the area, outside the summer season. There is also an unexpected "reservation fee." Consider your choices carefully.

Property is set in a quaint town with very nice and hospitable people. The view from our unit was spectacular. Looking at the water across to Canada and fishing boats on the water was a very scenic view.
