A Good Place
Lavender Inn was a good place to stay in a great location. We enjoyed wine and cheese in the evening and their breakfast in the morning. Our first floor room was a bit dated and musty. A dehumidifier was located in the room. The room was clean and well kept. The bathroom was updated and large.

8/10 Very good

This was a very nice and clean place. Bed was comfortable. Very friendly staff and great with free bike rentals. The location is very good and close to the beach and the old town was 10 min by bike. The breakfast was simple. Good coffee machine in the room and coffee and tea available at the reception as well. I recommend this place.

4/10 Fair

There was a homeless man camping in the parking lot and shouting obscenities until 2 am. The facilities were fine, but I would not come back here because it did not feel safe for families. The staff meed to be more proactive about these issues.

Great little find
This is a very nice hotel. The staff is kind and welcoming. Their continental breakfast had a wonderful variety. The serve wine and cheese and crackers in the afternoon so we sat out front and relaxed as we watched the sun go down. You can walk down to the beach from the hotel. Highly recommend!
