We were here a short time, post high season. The hotel is on the beach with great access. It is walkable to many restaurants. The hotel was clean and ready for our check in. There are some spots on the carpet, and it does look like it had a busy summer. We were comfortable and the bed is really great.

We had a wonderful stay at The Inn on Onset Bay. Our room was immaculate with a spacious. modern bathroom. The mattresses were so comfortable. Our room had a microwave, fridge and sink which was very nice. There was a veranda off our room that overlooked the harbor. Fantastic! There’s a patio where you can relax and bbq if you so wish. The management was so friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay here again.
