I love how quaint the location, however 3 things, conditioner didnt smell great, and the water out of the faucet smelled bad and parking is very tight. But other than that, mattress was amazing and the room was nice and spacious.

They have this 4-wheel surrey for our family to use for free. So we spent the morning roaming around the beach side and the wharf. Very unique experience.

Terrible old mattress. So worn out, that you can feel metal springs inside. Otherwise, a decent place to stay.
