Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Cleanliness
We booked this hotel through Expedia based on the photos and reviews. The staff was very kind and accommodating, and they have nice happy hour and small continents breakfast. However our room was a huge disappointment. It was outdated, with old carpet and outdated furniture, kind a like an old motel. Maybe it was just the room we chose. We stayed one night and changed to another hotel for the remainder of our stay.

I think calling yourself Inn by the Harborside when the Harbor is a walking mile away is stretching it. Beautiful grounds and the manager was great. Wi-fi was non-functional. The concrete stairs leading up the the rooms rocked us every single time somebody took the stairs. Clean and complete room with small kitchen and cafe table. Decent breakfast and they offer wine late in the afternoon.

I would like my money back for false advertisement. Expedia should have checked on the property and they would have seen that the pictures were desiving. I could have used my $850 on a nice room from a hotel I could trust.
