Great, quaint Inn.
A great place to stay! We enjoyed the location very much. It was nice to walk down to the beach and watch all of the surfers. We will be back.

Receptionist that evening was outstanding. We were given a room that had not been cleaned (dirty towels, dirty shower, unmade bed, sheets etc)!! She apologised and was very pleasant- swiftly making up the room. Couldn’t have been nicer. The receptionist in the morning was pleasant as well. One bummer: The shower head though -it sprays too high and oddly off to the side making it difficult to rinse soap off. Otherwise large and comfy room with peaks of the water. Really super nice staff!!! Just maybe not quite worth the money. But nice casual laid back beach area vibes. :)

Loved the relaxed atmosphere and close proximity to a pristine, expansive beach. The accommodations were comfortable and attractive. Our breakfast first rate. The neighborhood was quiet, quaint and welcoming. The only issue we had was a loud fan right outside our bedroom window. We would definitely return and simply choose a different room.

Nice location and cozy room. Front desk greeter seemed distracted with her phone, not friendly and disheveled looking for the front desk. Restaurant staff was awesome in comparison. Issues mainly with checkin otherwise a good stay.

Unfortunately you can hear doors closing all night long. it is very inconvenient getting luggage to your room. Also no where to put your close we were only there for one night so not a huge deal. We loved the room and bathroom. staff was great and so was the location.

I really liked the old New England charm of this hotel. Dinner at the restaurant was wonderful with unique creations by the chef. If you are looking for a classic, historic feel, this is a wonderful place.

nice location
One block from the beach is a perfect location. All the chairs are wicker and need to be replaced as there really isn't anywhere other than the bed to sit. Staff was very friendly and overall the rooms were very clean.

Higgins Beach stopover
Good hotel, convenient for the beach, staff very friendly, great service. However, avoid rooms 23 and 25 as very noisy kitchen extractors come on early just outside the window. Otherwise would stay again.

The staff was kind and welcoming. The location was lovely but difficult to get to without a car. Not much besides ocean around - but that was nice! The floors were pretty uneven throughout the building. Our room was at an angle. Things would slide from one side of the room to the other but it has a rustic feel
