The property is in need of a DEEP cleaning and maintenance. The shower had very low pressure and the hotel is loud, my husband left early for this reason- if you’re a light/ medium sleeper this isn’t optimal. The fire alarm went off after a night of loud doors/ floors and restless sleep. A man came outside laughing as people were waiting for an update stating that it was a false alarm, but didn’t let everyone know, just a few people standing by the exit. The emergency light in the room flashed for an hour or more after, very poor communication and truly just frustrating.

As soon as we got in the room, we could smell the mold. We were advised that they were under construction but in reality the hotel should be shut down and remodeled and then reopened. The mini fridge in the room was FULL of rust. The microwave was OLD. I took some tissue and ran ot across the floor and the fllor was DIRTY. There was loterally a whole in the wall behind the bed. We spent one night because we were exhausted from driving and actually got another hotel the next day and left. Due to the cancelation policy we were SOL as far as a refund. Do not let the outside deceive you. Wait until the remodeling is done and then give it a try.

There was a smell in the room. The floor was a wooden floor that seemed like it was just mopped before we got there because it stayed damp the entire weekend. I think that attributed to the smell.

Great Weekend Getaway

We loved staying at Ocean Inn and Suites! The staff were so friendly and always available. We were given lots of recommendations for places to eat in the area. We only stayed 2 nights and we would go back. The place itself looks like it’s undergoing some construction and some upkeeping. We didn’t have much of a problem with the appearance other than some tiles in the ceiling were discolored and the water pressure in the shower wasn’t the best. Other than that, WE LOVED IT!

Old, dated. Like its stuck in the 80s. The staff was excellent, very friendly and honest. I dont like giving negative reviews, but I hope this spurs ownership to renovate.
