Top Eastside Hotel Reviews

Inn By The Harbor

Inn By The Harbor

8/10 Good
"We enjoyed the breakfast every morning—egg frittatas, oatmeal, melon, cereal, pastries hot and cold drinks. Only downside was our room had a mild musty smell and the carpet/shower was old…I wore my thongs in the room and shower the entire time. Everything in the room felt slightly damp to me. Otherwise the Inn was quaint, quiet and centrally located—easy walk to the harbor. Jacuzzi was small but worked well and it was great to have towels poolside. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will consider staying there again."
