    The breakfast was excellent, although there was not enough fritata for everyone. I suspect some had gone back for seconds and we dined later in the morning. The room was large and attractively decorated. The vibe was comfy.

    We were lucky enough to stay four nights at this wonderful Bed and Breakfast. The location was within walking distance to the waterfront, shopping and restaurants. The Inn was updated, clean and well appointed. Rooms were large and comfortable...

    We were staying in the room with the outside staircase. The one with two queen size beds. The location was great. The staff was very friendly. The room was clean and spacious. The only thing that might be better is a bigger bathroom.
