David, Jun 2017
Pros (+) This hotel is very simple, with sliding doors to the outside. The staff was friendly and the room extremely clean. Breakfast was simple, but the DIY waffle maker was a hit. The location is very close to the pier where you may glimpse otters and seals.

Pros (+) The hotel is a 2 minute walk to the boardwalk and the wharf. The Saturday night staff was the friendliest hotel staff I've ever met. A++
