Room reeked of mildew and mold. The dehumidifier was full. I went and asked reception about someone in maintenance to empty it and get it running. They acted put upon but said one of them would be along in a while. We waited, then we figured out how to empty the thing without spilling water everywhere, it was so full. I still have a headache two days later.

Ok getaway

Not a bad stay but was disappointed with lack of room service. Only people staying 3 days or more could get room service only with 24 hr notice due to the short staff. Dirty towels were to be thrown outside the door between the hours of 9 and 12 a.m. and had to go to the front constantly for new towels. Also, take out your own trash. Sand accumulates on the floors from the beach but they were nice enough to leave you a broom and dust pan. Again, not a horrible place but I've stayed at much better. Doesn't seem to be many options in close proximity of the beach so it is worth it for the location. Prices were very reasonable.

Loved how close it was to the beach and there was a good pizza shop next door! One complaint would be the lighting in the room, it was hard to see! Overall, great place!

Great location and service! I mistakenly booked one night instead of two (thanks to hotels.com being confusing), and they worked to get me another night in the same room, even though someone else was booked for that room that day. Comfort was 3/5 because our room had just a door between an adjacent room. Sound wasn't really isolated at all, so privacy wasn't great.

The Inn was okay. It was surprisingly dark inside and felt cold and isolated instead of warm and inviting. Our reservation was supposed to have an inlet view, but we were situated facing some local businesses and a mobile park. The staff wasn’t very welcoming, but they weren’t unkind; they were very businesslike and also not warm, except for the one person who was there at checkout and took the time to smile and chat for a second. For the price, I would have stayed elsewhere. I didn’t think it was worth close to $500 for two nights.
