"The room was clean and comfortable. I very much appreciated receiving a discounted parking rate during my stay. On Saturday morning, the Haven Point restaurant was severely short staffed resulting in a long wait time (approximately ten people were in line) to be seated; this was during peak breakfast hours. There was only one waitress serving the bar and one assistant serving the dining area. Also, it would great if there were more breakfast options for the bed and breakfast ticket. By the way, the pancakes are extremely rubbery. An easy solution would be to not overmix the batter and make sure to use fresh baking powder."
