room was clean and comfortable however a bit dated, a bit of traffic noise due to proximity to highway. breakfast was fast and excellent portions and very tasty. A nice view of the river and bay from the back deck. All in all worth the money and comfortable.

Verified review

6/10 Good

Although the single Queen room was quite clean it was extremely sparse and dated. Furnature was quite old and although some upgrades were attempted in the bathroom, they were a bit rough. The bed was surprisingly comfortable but unfortunately the pillows were very small and hard. But the breakfast and view from the restaurant were made up for it! Felt the price of $240 for what we got was overpriced by $100 considering our next night farther up the trail was $150 and totally cute and cozy.

What a beautiful hidden gem. Stunning view, quiet and peaceful. Simple but clean room with all that we needed. Hot coffee in the morning available in the lobby. Just perfect - highly recommend.

The room was clean and the hotel has an excellent view as it sits high up on a hill. We saw a beautiful sunrise from our room. The owners were gracious and friendly. But the bathroom door and furniture were a little beat up.
