It is in a great location within easy walking distance of many attractions. While the facility was very clean, it is beginning to show its age with some repairs apparently underway? Also our television would not come on without getting assistance from the front desk. Also the coffee maker was not working on several occasions.

We had a balcony facing the light house. It was beautiful but without blackout curtains the light pulsed in our room keeping us awake. Who doesn't have blackout curtains!? Furniture was placed to optimize large groups and was awkward. The rooms floors were covered in sand and sticky but the bathroomwas reasonableif you ignorethe fact that the floor hadn't been mopping between stays. Don't even bother with breakfast the self serve coffee machine, apple and packaged muffin isn't worth the trip but if you want close to the beach and reasonable prices this is it.

Hotel was an excellent value for the location. It was convenient to restaurants and shopping. The property was very dated. The curtain rod in our room was lopsided and not secure to the wall. The min fridge was old and dented. The hallway paint was scuffed and dingy. There was not base molding along the floor in the hallway, which caused dirt and debris to collect between the wall and floor. There was a nice coffee machine in the lobby with fresh drinks available 24/7. Breakfast in the lobby was sparse and unappealing.
Beautiful view of the lighthouse from the balcony.

Good not great

The stay was fine. The location was excellent, the rooms were quiet, and the beds were comfortable. The hotel is in the heart of the pier/lighthouse area, and it was perfect for walking to restaurants for breakfast and dinner. The rooms were clean but very much in need of updating. We didn’t interact much with the staff, but when we did, they were professional and courteous. I might stay here again, but it was not a memorable stay.

Nice place

We enjoyed staying at Ocean Inn and suites. The location was very convenient to town, park, pier. They have started renovating but had stopped for the summer. Our room was on the lobby floor and just above the pool. It was clean and smelled fresh. The room is large, bed is very comfortable. Even though they were full it was very quiet and peaceful.

Terrible experience

This was a terrible experience. Would not stay here again. After seeing the room and then requesting a new room (we have NEVER made such a request before in our entire lives and we’ve stayed in some pretty sketch places when we were young and broke), we were very condescendingly informed that that’s what we got when we booked the “discounted room” - weren’t aware of this when we booked, and when we booked “the last room available” - that’s weird since we booked EIGHT MONTHS AGO. This clearly used to be an office that they threw a bed in and converted to a room. All of the furniture looked like it was left over from something else, mismatched, misaligned, scuffed… Maybe they can use this as a to-do list to fix before the next person they scam: The door to the room wasn’t even shut all the way when we checked in, it was cracked open. No peephole for security. The fridge door had no racks for the shelves so you couldn’t use the fridge door for storage. The freezer compartment didn’t have a door, so nothing to keep the temperature contained so everything in the fridge froze, the fridge had a layer of ice at the bottom. You couldn’t open the bathroom door all of the way because it hit the bed. There was no where to put our bags, except on a minuscule 1-drawer dresser under the wall mounted 30” tv or on a chair stuffed in the corner (partially blocking the closet), that faced the opposite direction of the tv. In the entire room, you had about 3’ of walking space around th
