Inn By The Harbor

10/10 Excellent
"You can tell this property has history however it is so well kept. We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite and there was plenty of room for our party of 6. The staff is outstanding and the bike trail to the beach is just around the corner, we loved our stay!"

Wine Valley Inn

Wine Valley Inn

8/10 Good
"The room was clean, but not attractive or made to feel comfortable. Very basic, which is fine for a standard night's sleep. We were just under the impression that it would be a little nicer. It was small. Very crowded parking. The breakfast was ok, but not exceptional. We arrived about 45 minutes before breakfast ended our first morning, and people were already complaining about coffee being gone for the day. My husband had to track someone down for milk as it was out and there was no one in the breakfast room or kitchen to help. We did use the spa, and it was way overpriced for massages. Other than that, it was nice and met our needs."
