“The best thing about this room was the view. It's an older inn but it's in decent shape. The bed mattress really needs replacing and if you're staying there I would suggest a top floor room. If not, your experience at night will be listening to heavy foot vacationers stomping around until midnight.”
“Nice place right on the beach the continental breakfast was amazing. Didn't use the pools but they looked awesome as well. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, made you feel like you belonged there. Will be back for sure”
“I would consider this place a hidden gem on the beach, they say they treat their customers like family and that’s how we felt. They were prompt and knowledgeable with a clean facility and a great breakfast. Their location is second to none if you don’t opt for a cottage.”
“As other reviews mentioned, the hot tub still does not work with no ETA, they have direct tv for cable which did not work, and the room phone did not work. The walls are paper thin, so you will be able to hear everything. When we called the office about the phone and tv they did not seem to care then at check out acted shocked, like it was new information. The location is great, the outdoor pool is nice, the rooms were updated “landlord special” style. I think I’d try somewhere else next time”
“Older Inn. Definitely need higher toilets in the room as the one in our room was kindergarten child height very difficult to get up. Towels need to be replaced they have absolutely no absorbency left. There are no grab bars in the bathtub/shower which is dangerous for seniors. There was absolutely no water pressure in the bathroom sink. Direction signs to where breakfast is would be a good idea. Beach is beautiful and this Inn is located right on the beach is what it has going for it.”
