Airbnb not an inn at all.
Pros:

Modern room, hot tub and sauna.

Cons:

Bathroom is part of room so lacks privacy, coffee and tea kettles had (how old??) water in them and when I texted owners about milk, they advised they didn’t supply. This is an Airbnb. Sauna and hot tub are great but small to share with all other guests.

Wonderful find for a birthday getaway
Pros:

The location was great. The suite was beautifully appointed, and having the welcome video was so helpful. We especially appreciated the sauna.

Cons:

Everything was great. I think the bathroom fan was out of order in our suite ( top floor #2), so we used the window to let steam escape.

Romantic place in the heart of town
Pros:

We liked the way access to the unit was set up - easy and secure. The unit was also located at the back of the Inn facing the internal courtyard. Also liked the furnishings - obviously, a lot of thought had gone into the interior decoration. The information in the folder was quite helpful in understanding what amenities were nearby.

Cons:

A bit noisy at night from the unit above us. It would also have been handy to have had a small broom to clean the floor of fall leaves.

Pros:

Traumhaftes und stylisch eingerichtetes Appartment. Alles vorhanden, was gebraucht wird. Neu und super sauber. Blick auf den Hafen, Parkplatz direkt vor dem Haus.
Leider hatten wir nur zwei Übernachtungen.

Pros:

We stayed in suite 3- bottom floor - studio suite. It was cute and cozy, & quite clean and fresh smelling (except for some old pizza sauce spray on the kitchen wall- lol)
There were robes and flip flops for the walk to the hottub and sauna - which was great !
The parking wasn’t ok for a big truck - it was steep and gravel and tight spots - but we figured it out 😁

Pros:

We stayed at the Inn for our babymoon and overall had a nice time. We let them know in advance that it was a special trip, and the staff were friendly and welcoming when we arrived. They left a lovely note acknowledging our baby moon and congratulations :) The room was clean, cozy, and comfortable — a great spot to relax.
Unfortunately, our first night was a bit disappointing due to noisy neighbors who were up until about 2am making a fair amount of noise inside and outside. It made it hard to get the rest we were really hoping for, especially since this trip was meant to be a peaceful getaway before the baby arrives, and the Inn states a no noise after 10pm request of guests. What was disappointing was my husband having to be the initiator to go and ask the group next to our room (we were in the Queen Suite main floor at the back, #5) at 2am to please let us sleep as this had been going on for quite some time.
The rest of our stay was enjoyable, but the noise that first night did leave us with mixed feelings, hence the 3 stars. For the price we paid for 2 nights, we were not expecting it to be a “party space” location. Still, it’s a lovely place overall and location — just something to consider if you’re looking for a very quiet stay.
