Quaint Inn
It’s not a bad place and good location. Food in Restaurant is good. Beds are not comfortable and wifi is basically non-existent. Lots of hot water in shower. It’s 1960’s which is not all bad.

Bed comfort -- good mattress and pillows, comfy
General report: The building is old, but well cared for. I like the ambience. Enjoyed sitting under the trees by the river in the breeze. Good service at dinner. Comfortable beds and I especially liked being able to open the windows. Bathroom is good condition. And the prices were very economical. Would go there again. Eleanor

Rustic charm but very clean and staff are friendly. Thin walls but for the most part hotel guests are mindful of the noise.

This property is a very old property and has tons of character. The old pub and restaurant is very nice. The lawn between the hotel and the water has places to sit and watch the sunset. Rooms are updated and clean.

Pass on this one
I wouldn’t recommend a stay here. The first room I was offered had a 2 foot long spread of black mould on the bathroom wall and ceiling. The second room was in better condition, but the mattress was definitely older than me. I wish the duvet insert had a cover on it or at least a sheet on top of it, as many hotels now do. Only one lamp worked so the room was very dark.
The place looks cute and historic in photos, but feels grimy and run down.
There is a nice outdoor area that looks out onto the water. I spent a lot of time here avoiding my room.

Disappointed with Quality
Easy parking. Central to downtown. Lovely lawn overlooking the Bay. Nice restaurant. But don't stay in the side building, with only outside stairs to walk up with luggage. The rooms are NOTHING like those pictured. More like a 1 star hotel/motel. Run down, old spring mattress. Pillows too high. Very dark room. Mold in bathroom around the bath. But awesome water pressure. Broken toilet. Ask to stay in the main building, where I assume those pictures are from. Should have realized with the low price, you get what you pay for.

Decent
Pretty decent for such an old hotel. The restaurant is nice enough, but limited seafood offerings in the off season. If it weren't raining I would go sit in the chairs set by the Mersey river

A very comfortable and convenient stopover for us. Excellent room and a welcoming reception.
Waitress in restaurant was abrupt and tried to rush us when ordering meal. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.
No breakfast available.
