I booked for a double bed room and was provided with a 2-twin bunk bed room. It was freezing cold at night. Before you choose this place search about sleeping in crew rooms in a tub boat.
My friend and i could not have been more pleased with our visit to Swept Away. We met some terrific people and made long term friendships with two of them. What more could we ask. Thank you.
What an amazing experience to sleep on a boat! Highly recommend staying here. The hosts are wonderful and the breakfast was delicious!
It was a nice quiet evening on a tug boat. Tight room but excellent breakfast and hosts

Paid when you book, not at the desk.
Rates include the taxes and fees we can read.
The property may take a card at check-in for incidentals.
Children 12 years old and younger are not permitted at this property. Some facilities may have restricted access.

Check-in is from 4:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 4:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.

Nothing to do with the booking above. The same market, priced the same way, for if this one is not it.
