Was clean and orderly, shower was pretty old but overall was fine and prices was right. Breakfast was 3 hotels down, probably because it was off-saeson.

Ferry service to the island is always excellent, regardless whether it’s Sheplers or Starline.

Nice to walk around if you like looking at boats. They let you walk along all the docks (not true everywhere).

Shepler’s is a well-oiled machine for ferrying to the Island. Unexpected new higher parking charges.
