Pros:

I loved the location -- right on the waters edge! The size of the room was nice. Plenty of towels, with a bonus of bath robes was a nice touch. Well stocked -- even had a few dishes, so we could eat in!

Cons:

The room is definitely dated and could use a fresh coat of paint and flooring. The bed/mattress was average............
The blinds are basic, and I would have loved to see blinds that raise from the bottom to the top, so we could have natural light pour in, but still have the needed privacy.

Can’t miss by staying at the Old Harbor Inn
Pros:

Nice hotel smack dab in the heart of town by the water. Great view. But the staff, Dawn and Tracy, were very welcoming. Our room, made up by Ana, was spotless, and had everything we needed.

Cons:

Nothing, really.
