Room was very sparse, no coffee maker, only one picture on wall, no end tables, ocean view room, but could not pull up blinds to see the ocean. Breakfast was good but they touted fresh-baked cinnamon rolls but there were none. Parking was convenient and free. Building was beautifully restored.

The inn reminds me of a converted brownstone. The room we stayed in was okay. It had a lot of light, large bed, normal bathroom. But it didn’t have a full length mirror even though it had plenty of wall space for that. It also looked like the walls were painted over multiple times- like a ny city apartment. I enjoyed the inn, it had a restaurant with live music and a mini convenient store that was always open by the front desk. The location is central to the beach and the Washington street mall. I just think the price is expensive for what you are getting- but it’s what all the hotels are charging- so they are in the range. Staff was extremely helpful and nice. One of the hostesses we wound up seeing the next day working in the fudge shop. Quaint town.
