A cute little 2 story inn with every room having a harbor view. A bit of street noise. Breakfast is a pass not worthy of noting but next door the cafe has awesome breakfasts and coffee. Highly recommend 3 egg scramble with veggies, comes with roasted potatoes, homemade muffin. One serving enough for 2. The Inn could be vastly improved... More

I stayed at this hotel a few years ago, so it may be updated now. I stayed there because Neil Young had filmed part of his movie 'Greendale' there, and I thought it would be cool, as well as a bunch of my other friends. It was a basic motel, and at that time, much less money than it is... More

We were looking for a cheap and cheerful in HMB, where the trend is to be very overpriced. Our one night stay in room 9 was just fine. Front desk reception was excellent. The bathroom is large and the hotel has had some upgrades since other reviewers have stayed there. While the bed was only average, the pillows and sheets... More

We stayed here for one night for a last minute trip and although the location is nice, close to the harbor and restaurants, beaches etc. the hotel was dated and run down. The employees were pleasant and friendly, the breakfast was basic but enough to hold us until lunch and they had trays so we could take it to our... More

Room is clean and tidy, the bathroom is tired and the fan and heater light switches are US. The paint in the bathroom needs repainting and had discolored paint above the shower. However this place is not over priced in my opinion and is very close to the restaurant next door Flavor which is well worth a visit Our Hertz... More

We were welcomed by marina who was quite helpful and pleasant throughout our stay. We stayed in one of the "renovated" rooms which had a high vaulted ceiling, bay window to the harbor, and was quite spacious and clean. The small but well appointed sitting area was a nice touch. Simply put, this was much bang for the buck. The... More

Arrived early and the front desk was so helpful and kind. Montana girl was great to us. She even advised us where to go and the views to see. Great stay for 2 days, so close to the beach without hurting your pocketbook. Rooms are big and view was reat on the second floor. Go there.

I stayed here recently for one night on company business due to its prime location, without a reservation. The staff at check in was very kind and worked with me on my corporate rate. My room was a freshly remodeled king room, nicely appointed with casual style including a sitting area at the large front windows overlooking the marina across... More

We stay here every year because we have a music festival that starts off at Old Princeton Landing, about 300 meters up the road. The hotel has improved every year we have stayed there. Some rooms have been redecorated ( with a redecorated price). We stayed in the old rooms but still very comfortable. Great breakfast place next door

Very nice room and a great location, near some favorite restaurants. In fact the manager said that by showing our room key we could get 15 % off at Flavor, a wonderful comfort food restaurant. There were some minor issues. The modest continental breakfast was not available on time one day. There was some mold in the bathroom sink that... More
