8/10 Good
"We had a wonderful stay here for two nights while we visited the area for my partner's birthday. We both agreed that the bed in the room was our favourite part. It was like sleeping on a supportive fluffy cloud and we both slept so well which is new for us. The staff were lovely, the room was clean and the shower water pressure was out of this world good!! There's a mini fridge and microwave and sink but no dishes or utensils so bring your own or hit up the dollar store a few blocks from the Inn. We had planned on getting breakfast and dinner at the diner that is featured in the listing for the Inn but it looked long closed down and boarded up so we had to pivot. The coin operated laundry was such a bonus because we anticipated getting damp on our night kayak tour and the whale watching tour. We fortunately didn't but if we had gotten wet on day one and there wasn't a laundry room we could access, the nightmare of putting on wet clothes for the next day's all day tour would had significantly brought down the experience. So it was wonderful to know we had the option of clean dry clothes if we needed it. Parking was ample, location was central, supermarkets, food, Starbucks etc, all close by. The rubber covering on the stairs to the upstairs rooms was a little scary as the step edge fittings weren't quite attached and we definitely tripped a few times going up and down. A great expereince all round. Thank you!"
