8/10 Good
"The location is the best part…walkable to the wharf, funk town, beach, restaurants and tasting rooms. Room was renovated but small. These are renovated motel rooms which we didn’t love that layout but the majority of the accommodations in SB are Inns or Motels. Staff were nice and helpful. Pool is at the motel next door. Bikes are a lil run down, Breakfast was nice…they partner with local bakery shops and provide delicious pastries and bagels. The coffee was smooth and tasty. They have dairy free creamer…just ask for it. Overall, it worked for the night, but I wouldn’t stay there for a longer stay."
