So comfy! A beautiful little inn, close to the Beach and Harbor. This hotel had the comfiest bed and pillows. It was nice and quiet tucked back. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

First, the downsides: the placement of the power outlets was rather impractical 🙂 But the room was cozy and comfortable, and although we didn't have breakfast, it looked delicious. Overall, it was quite nice, and it's also very close to Stearns Wharf, making it a good place to take a walk in the morning or evening.

The rooms are more upscale than typical motel rooms, with coffee and other beverages served in the lobby, handmade cookies available in the afternoon, and the beach just a few minutes' walk away. The beds are high, and there's a hot tub.

套房的梳化床比較窄，三人入住介意的要慎重選擇。但是此外酒店位置非常好，有免費熱水提供，而且早餐很豐盛且免費，自帶停車場免費，這些和價格相比性價比很高。值得再次選擇

The room was very clean, with really comfortable beds and a nice patio. The pool area was perfect for a warm day. The staff is very amenable and provided a nice breakfast. The inn is in a great location - a short walk to the beach and Sterns Wharf, but far enough away from the Main Street that it was really quiet.

It was perfect for me. Served my stay well. Loved the coffee in the lobby too. I took a slower Wake up in the AM so missed the complimentary breakfast. All in all I will choose to stay here again

Lovely hotel room, recently renovated. Pool and hot tubs were nice and clean. Breakfast was a limited but very good buffet, range of options such as muffins, bagels, eggs, bacon and sausage plus cereals. Location is perfect! A mile walk from the main village/town and steps from the beach/marina. They also offer free bike rentals and afternoon cookies! We will definitely be back.

We recently returned from an excellent stay at the Franciscan, in a Junior King suite. The hotel is very quiet (thick walls, on a side street) and clean, with nice beds. Our room had a mid-size fridge, microwave, coffee maker and all the dishes we needed. In terms of amenities, I would recommend sealing off the second bedroom door and placing a dresser/chest of drawers in that space, so guests have a place to store personal items. My only caveat about this lovely small hotel is that the hotel just changed ownership, so I don’t know if the new owners will do things differently.
