Stay away from Waterfront inn.

Very disappointing. They are still under Covid rules, like cleaning the room every-other-day. Fresh towels every-other-day. I spoke with front desk and was told I had to ask "every" day to get fresh towels. Refrig was broken. Staff was rude.

Enchanting

It is an old hotel but quite charming. It was walking distance to the center of town where there is live music every night! We did have time to go swimming but the pool area was lovely. Wish they served breakfast!
