Old and in need of repair.  Deck was dirty and moldy.  Grounds were unkempt.  Room was tired, tired, tired.  No food, except for a basket with a few bags of potato chips and small, plastic bottles of water. My wife and I slept there only because we had already paid. 

A tired property, way past it's prime and poorly maintained

Do not book this hotel.

The website is totally misleading leading and the property looks nothing like the pictures depict.

The room was dirty, unkempt and on need of serious maintenance.  The bathroom was disgusting and in need of a total renovation.  The shower  water never got above lukewarm.  The outdoor deck off the room was dirty, moldy and in need of repair.

The property is overgrown, littered with trash and not maintained.

There are zero amenities and the bistro is no more.

At $200/night is a total rip off. 

It is clear the owners do not care.

Do not book!!

I will try to keep this as to the point as possible, but DO NOT BOOK THIS PROPERTY. I have reached out to the owners and given them the chance to address their problems and make a good faith effort to show they are trying but after a week I have received no reply, so my only option now is to warn fellow travelers. My hope is the property owners realize that what they are doing is shady and they either need to put their efforts into returning to either returning to good business practices, finding a better management company, or selling to someone who will. 
-	It looks like up until 2019 this was a nice place to stay. COVID must have done a number on them because they are not anymore, and it shows. Ignore any review before the past 2 years, those posters clearly visited the property in a better time. 
-	Do not trust the pictures show on the website. They are inaccurate to the current property. We stayed in room 2 which pictured a dramatic 4 poster bed and other romantic colors and theming. Those have been replaced. The bed is now with a spring steel frame without even a bed skirt to hide it’s barrack’s like feel. The mattress is old and uncomfortable.  All rich red colors in the website picture have been replaced with a sickly beige of a mid to low end motel. The other furniture, fixtures, and curtains are damaged and pathetic. It looks like they were trying to upgrade at some point but gave up and are now trying to charge for luxury resort while delivering roadside motel. DO NOT TRUST THEIR PICTURES. Its not the difference between a good and bad photo, they do not show the image of the room today. BAIT AND SWITCH.
-	The deck does not have the wicker and cushion furniture but is steel mesh. The mini hot tub is about 4’ diameter, and shallow (maybe 2.5’) and the moment you get in, it overflows through the deck. If two try to use it together the remaining water level threatens to sink beneath the jets causing a horrible sucking sound all night. The covers are weather battered, cracked, and unappealing looking.  
-	The “bistro” is simply an area of tables and chairs with a microwave, coffee maker, and a few free snacks they bought at Costco. It is not staffed and honestly, we never saw an innkeeper except one cleaning person emptying garbage and restocking the water bottles. THERE IS NO BISTRO.
-	The outside property is verging on overgrown. The grass is weedy, the blackberries and hedges are overgrown. The one good thing about the place, the view, is half obscured on lower floor rooms. The plexiglass of the decks is disgustingly dirty anyway so even if the plants were cut back, you are staring through hazy plastic. The walk down to the beach is barely accessible, almost overgrown as well, and narrow causing you to walk through a neighbor’s back yard. 
Altogether, the appearance is an owner who just doesn’t care anymore, or perhaps is so strapped that they can’t afford to make this place as nice as they are charging for. It’s a shame, the property was clearly fairly nice a few years ago, but it is now old, tired, and the people who run it are limping along at best. If you have not other choice, negotiate a much better deal on your rate than the one they are offering. They managed to get our money, don’t let that be you. RUN FROM THIS PLACE until they find someone to sell it to who cares.  


DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE

It's seriously run down - no one at the front desk  at all, some bags of Chex Mix and bottled water at the unmanned reception. Room 6 had no robes (as were advertised as being included), a bathroom fan so dirty we had to clean it ourselves (after asking the one person briefly present at the inn whether she had a feather duster or a broom so we could clean it ourselves to which she replied that the dust was "unremovable and maintenance would be there in the morning"), no ice machine ("a guest broke it, maintenance will be here in the morning,") no coffee in the morning unless we made it ourselves in a seriously dingy looking pot in the front area. A hedge in front of room 6 made it a no-view room when one sat on the veranda. For $250 a night, do not recommend.

Avoid

I was so excited to finally get to stay here.  Sadly, it was not a good experience.  I’m fairly certain no one else was there but us.  No staff and no other guests.  That was just weird.  A previous guest’s dirty laundry was in the dresser but there was no one to tell so there it sat.  We booked room 6 because we wanted to sit out and watch the water, the hedge was WAY too high to do that.  When I booked, the website said a continental breakfast was available, there was only 2 day old coffee and it’s since been removed from the website.  Dirty glasses were in the bin our entire stay.  The exhaust fan in the bathroom was very dirty.  There were no hangers and no where to hang clothes.  It has so much potential but sadly, it’s not a place I’d ever stay again or recommend to anyone.

Just don’t

Terrible.  Rented room 2 for a getaway, just the two of us.  The hot tub jets didn't work. The tub itself was scalding, (Temperature read 127F) and therefore unusable.  There is no on-site staff.  I left a vmail and an email with no response.  

Time to close.

The room was dated but clean. comfortable bed. The primary reason we got this room was for sitting on the deck and enjoying the view. The chairs on the deck were so worn that they had holes in the seat and the view was obstructed by an un-trimmed hedge. Went to another sitting area on the property and grounds needed weeding and up keep

Clean room but obstructed view and unkept grounds

We were extremely disappointed in this Inn.  What is represented on the website is not at all what it feels like when you get there.  It is in what could be a beautiful spot on the water, but the property and building are run down and look deserted.  not a Car in the parking lot.  Yard not kept up at all.  We rented on a weeknight and were given a code to the building and then an envelope was left for us with our room number and code.  There was NO ONE in the place...and looked like they would only have one other room rented that evening.  The room was old, and smelled musty.  The deck (First floor with Hot tub) was in very bad shape, windows needed washing, etc.  The minute we saw the room and deck, we decided we couldn't stay.  Felt almost like being in a horror movie.  We immediately got on the phone to find a place back to Seattle (an hour plus drive back).  Web site shows and speaks to a much more elegant place and experience, and that is not what you get.  I can say that they did give us our money back, which we appreciate.  Feel badly to say we would highly discourage renting this place and hope the owners are able to get it back to what it once must have been.

Unfortunately, not what you think it will be

I am one to follow the “If you don’t have something nice to say…” rule.  But I truly want to save others from a bad experience on a beautiful island.  There is simply no one running this place.  The previous review says it well.  I will only add that not even the pillows are decent.  Five small wads of lumps on my king sized bed..  And pillows are easy to fix in such a small place.   For $250/night, you will have a much better experience across the water at Captain Whidbey.

Just No……

When we got there the inn seemed nice and we had a beautiful view.  But over the course of the two days we were disappointed that it was not really that clean and was poorly maintained.  We found an envelope with directions for breakfast . And although it said there was a buffet breakfast the girl setting it up the next morning said they dont do that anymore.  There was a continental breakfast the first day with a decent selection, but the second day there was hardly any food.  And there were several places asking for a gratuity.  I am not sure for what.  The bed wasnt made up between the two days or any fresh towels so was very curious why a gratuity envelope was left. Based on the price and the pictures I expected more.   This place has so much potential if the management would just do the minimum
