Earth Box Inn
Neat hotel. Set up like a motor lodge but don't let that fool you. Room was clean. Water was hot. Parking easy. I had my dog with me..the dog area was decent, but it’s very dark out there. Maybe a motion light or something would be good. I was there Dec 24-25, the island was very quiet. 5 min walk to the “shopping/restaurant/dock”. I saw they had an indoor pool, but I didn't use it. Overall neat place to stay & would defo recommend the Earth Box Inn.

I would return
The staff was very kind. The room was clean and had the needed items. I would return. The location to the harbor, shops and food was great. The holiday lights were perfect for the town.

Enjoyed the pool area. Clean, well kept and good temp. Check in was a little rough as the room code did not work and required a couple of return trips to the desk. Did allow us to check in early, perhaps that is why.

It was a true delight to stay here. The staff were very friendly, and the rooms immaculate with very comfortable beds. There was a lovely little outside coffee bar to get different morning beverages and light breakfast breads. But the crown jewel was the indoor pool with hot tub and sauna. It was incredible! Sparkling clean and just the right ambiance that matches the serene surroundings of the entire place. I will be back.

Felt misled as to what room would look like, based on pics on websites. Ours was very small, poor lighting and we felt like we were in a cave. Perhaps this is what you get when you have a pet. Pool and grounds were nice. Bathroom was tiny. Sink area with microwave & coffee maker was cramped. Inn was billed as retro but the wing we were in needs updating.

The cleanliness and service was not up to the mark, especially given the high prices. Even after house keeping, the floor was dirty and full of dust.

What a great getaway space! Stayed for one night for a golf tournament with friends from work. We loved how walkable this place was. The morning coffee shop was cute and easy to access. The night before, we watched the game a bit at Haley’s sports bar, walked to dinner at the Downrigger then stopped to bowl across the street from the hotel before going to bed.
Next time I might stay another night to go kayaking, enjoy the spa or go whale watching. We will definitely stay here again!
