Fodor's Review:
This 1875 sea captain's mansion nearly met with the wrecking ball before Ed Maas and his family took over the place in the late '90s; today the Maas clan continues to run this bustling inn and restaurant with warmth and enthusiasm. The imposing, turreted structure has two distinct faces: one turned toward a busy intersection and a large shopping plaza, whereas the other looks longingly over tranquil Town Cove. Rooms here are simply but charmingly appointed with classic wood furniture and floral quilts on the beds; the larger waterfront suites have sitting areas and great views of the harbor. Common areas include a kitchenette with a microwave and toaster oven and a sitting room in the basement with a large TV and videos. The restaurant ($-$$$), which uses some creative ingredients in its traditional standbys, serves up large portions of fish-and-chips, grilled sirloin, and grilled salmon with orange-honey glaze. There's also an excellent Sunday brunch. Remarkably, the inn has no cancellation fee: you must pay in full for your stay at the time of booking, but even if you cancel the day of arrival, you'll receive a full refund. Local and long-distance phone calls are complimentary, too. Pros: Great waterfront location, outdoor dining overlooking the cove (about the only place in town), gracious hosts, many amenities. Cons: Some rooms face busy intersection rather than the water, rooms accessed via steep stairs.
