Positive: Great place to stay. Nice view of the water from nearly any room. Huge tub, room enough for 2-3 people with an adjoining shower. You can watch tv from the tub due up a sliding door. Comfy king sized bed. Pillows were better than most. Free access to the steam room was a nice perk.
Negatives: parking sucks. Stalls are super narrow, a few unavailable (pallets stacked in one,) and not enough. If you have a larger vehicle plan on street parking. The on-site restaurant is good, but as one might expect, terribly over priced. Even the happy hour menu was super expensive. If you plan on using the spa services, make an appointment well in advance.

First of all, shoutout to Seth, Cayla, and Ashley, for going above and beyond!!! We own the Coachman Inn in town, but being a Monday, I did not think to block a room for myself and we ended up being sold out. So I decided to take this as an excuse to stay at this amazing Inn. Beautiful water views, clean property and very well kept. Chrysalis Inn is an amazing place to stay.

Stopped in on a quick trip north. Booked via the Hilton honours app. Super easy. Reception staff friendly and helpful. Room was quiet despite being near the railway.
Very comfy bed. A couple of drinks at the bar. Craft beers only🫤 however adequate.
Diner down the road on wings and Coors lites. Yummo!
Breaky the next day was filling.
Parking is on the street be warned.

This hotel is a very enjoyable place to stay.
Our very well appointed room offered a full view of the sea.
The in-house restaurant is remarkably good! We sat outside and had a great view of the sea, the beautiful sunset and the passing train.
After dinner, the cozy bar offers great cocktails, and a fine selection of wine.
Don’t let the train scare you away as the guests really enjoyed it.
After we checked in, we walked on the adjoining boardwalk, which eventually leads to the downtown area. As we walk, we took in the ocean, the boats, the fisherman, and the fellow board-walkers.
The bottom line is this is a great place to stay. We gathered from other guests that many of them are repeating their stay here. That is an important sign of success.
I would certainly like to stay here again .
