Inn By The Harbor

Inn By The Harbor

10/10 Excellent
"This was a short overnight trip for my son and me. We enjoyed our stay at Inn by the Harbor because it was a very beautiful hotel. It was small but the patio area was beautiful. Our room also had a very cute and well stocked kitchen which sadly we did not use. The bedroom and bathroom were a very comfortable size. There were also restaurants with in walking distance! Next time I want to go with my husband!"
