The place is run down
The restaurant was closed and it appeared there was water gushing from a basement window. The room was fine. The bed was comfortable which is what we wanted.

We stayed here for 2 days. The property was clean, as was the room. Everything seamed a little damp, probably because it was right on the water. It was ok as a place for a quick stop for a night.
