Words From Our Guests
"What a great hotel! Everything was so nice! The mattress was amazing, the sheets were definitely high-end. The coffee machine ground the beans to make the coffee. It was a great weekend getaway. We spent time on the balcony watching freighters go by and walked along the parks and the streets. There's a beach at the end of the road where we took the opportunity to dip our feet. I can't wait to visit the Inn on Water Street again."

"One of the best hotels we've stayed at. Very easy, simple and no hidden fees booking. Staff are great. It's difficult to tell how old the building is, but it has either been updated or is very well maintained and is very clean."

"I have stayed here twice now. Staff is very friendly, rooms are very clean, and views are awesome. Although each trip so far has been for business, I will definitely be back for a personal getaway. The Inn is very peaceful and just calming. Highly recommended!"
