Compact with everything we needed (but no shampoo or shower gel). Only a 10 minute walk from the ferry terminal which is a big plus (no parking worries). Our only negative was the loud noise of the fridge compressor overnight.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,193 reviews)

Food at the hotel was amazing. The rooms were great and beds were very comfortable. But when I booked for a 50th wedding anniversary i booked with a patio and in the pictures it looked like a regular patio with a table and a step off to the sand. I also called to verify the room and was told by the staff “yes you have a patio and you step off on a sandy beach” It is not. it’s a slab with 2 plastic chairs and a plastic table. You do not step off into the sand you go through grass cross a sidewalk and then cross more grass to get to a beach that is very rocky. When I went to the desk the person there said “you can leave”. I was very upset at the “not so romantic vibe” Also as I was walking to my car another employee yelled “just leave”. The two faces that welcome people were horrible. The rest of the staff was amazing. There were a lot of kids there so the pool and hot tub were not really usable? The hot tub shot the water up and out of the water which was very weird and also young kids were allowed to go from pool in to the hot tub. If Romance is what your looking for… probably not here. But if you want a room it is good

The Continental Inn is sufficient & a very decent rate. It’s clean but outdated. The furniture in our room was old & the chair had stains. The shower curtain smelled musty but my husband loved the water pressure. We stayed 1 night & overall, it was adequate.
