  : The Inn is gorgeous and has a ton of personality. It's location is awesome. It's right between the downtown and the boardwalk/beach. Everything was walking distance. Despite what people said about parking, it was easy if you have a regular sized car. SUVs may be more difficult to park, but sedans are easy. I loved the lobby area. It was a nice place to hang out. I also would have loved the front area with outside seating if it weren't for the dumping rain! We had both the downstairs rooms, which were very spacious. Our friends were able to get their fireplace working, which was really nice, but we weren't. We also didn't get a chance to ask for help. :)
  : We were in the front room and there was a rocking chair right outside our window. People would forget that we were inces away from their conversations! The road noise was pretty loud in our room. Our friends said that the people over their heads were extremely loud and kept them up.

  : -Coffee in the morning & water refill stations were useful-Decent sized room with fridge and microwave -Good central location
  : -Originally booked to be in main building but were moved to the side building. Which wouldnt of been an issue but when booking we selected a room, so perhaps this system needs changed.-Being moved meant we asked to park in the secondary parking lot, even though the hotel was not full. To park the car there was difficult due to the entrance being a narrow steep hill.-The only place in the US we were asked for 2 forms of ID, and were required to be over 21 years old, this wasnt stated when booking. Although not a problem for us, not every adult tourist will be over 21.
