Lighthouse Inn

Lighthouse Inn

10/10 Excellent
"My wife and I have stayed here multiple times over the last three years. This is an older hotel, but we enjoy the rustic appeal and charm. As soon as we walk in the front door and are greeted by Angela at the front desk we feel very welcome and glad we made the choice to stay here. They do have a free breakfast that does start the day, although it is on the basic side, cold cereal, bagel, oatmeal, and fruit. Beds and pillows are both a little on the firm side to me. Overall, we were very happy with this hotel and will definitely stay here the next time we are in town. "
