Honestly, look else where.
I stay in the area at least once a year, for a weekend or concert. usually in season or just out of summer.
My go to hotel is closed this late in the year so i tried the Ships inn as a replacement.
I am really bummed to say that i did not enjoy my stay at at this establishment.
Upon arrival the women behind the counter asked me to kindly wait while she finished her texting..ok after a 2 and a half hour drive i dont mind stretching my legs a minute.
After a 30 seconds to a minute she was ready to check me in, that went as normal until she tried to find the room key, after several minutes of banging around searching the drawer and muttering while voice texting the housekeepers she needs the key back now!.
This takes about 10 minutes and i receive an apology for the wait.
i didnt mind the wait. But the unorganized drama was unnecessary.
I know the website photos of hotel rooms are never quite the reality but this was far from what i was expecting. Way "older" and need of repair than the photos let on.
The mismatched beds were uncomfortable, but the sheets seamed clean. the walls and ceilings are paper thin. Even a casual conversation can be heard from one froom to another, which is something i wish my upstairs neighbors had taken into consideration before making me glad i didnt have the kids with me and honestly making me a little jealous of the youthful stamina.

The young man checking us in and out was very polite, kind and courteous I don’t like to leave a 1star review…but our windows was cracked (glass) the smoke detector was pulled out of the ceiling, the floors were literally filthy in the bathroom and the room smelled very badly. If there was another place to stay we would have just left. I apologize no negativity intended towards the owners etc but it was gross.

Checked in for 1 night. Slider entry door handle completely broken and hanging. Mold on bathroom ceiling. Smelled like heavy cleaning supplies i believe. Moved us to another room. Mold and stench still obvious. Check out is 10am. Staff knocking on door at 9am. 30 mins after we check out we get a call asking what happened. My response was "in regards to?" Manager says "you checked out. You were booked for 3 nights." As i am looking at my receipt which clearly states 1 night. I replied that is wrong i can send you my booking receipt. She states she will look into it and never got back to me.
All in all no I will not ever stay there again.

We were surprised how the rooms were compared to the bad reviews we read after booking. Place needs a little TLC but served its purpose
Bathroom door was hard to close , balcony door didn’t close well.
Beds in need of replacing

De loin, un des pires endroit pour loger
Nous avons louer 2 chambres pour 2 familles pour 3 nuits. Les deux chambres avaient des odeurs d’urines. Les douches sont dans un mauvais états. Nous sommes même allés au Walmart acheter des rideaux de douche et avons gardé nos sandales pour se laver. Je suis rarement négatif et je suis indulgent en général pour ce genre d’établissement. Mais je ne retournerai pas dans cet endroit.
