Would not stay here again even if free.

Driving up it looked a little outdated but fine. Checking in was great and friendly. Walking up the stairs to second floor to my room was gross. Stairs were nasty dirty and stinky. Got to room and the light wouldn’t turn on. Kept flickering so we just kept it off. Not a big deal since the other lights worked. But inside the room the carpet was just as gross. Visibly dirt spots and squeaky floor underneath. The curtain in front of the sliding door was also disgustingly dirty. The beds were awful to sleep on. You could feel the springs. The walls were dirty next to the bathroom door handle. The remote had nasty gunk in between the buttons. The only plus was that the sheets smelled clean and so did the towels in the bathroom. Do your self a favor and look somewhere else to stay.

The stairs from the lobby to the 2nd floor looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in years. The carpet was threadbare. When we opened the door to our room it immediately smelled terrible. The room was so questionable that we went across the street to Home Goods to buy sheets and a candle. We did not bother to try the provided breakfast.

The Coral Reef Inn is in a great location, just a short walk to the beach and plenty of nearby shopping and dining. Breakfast is complimentary but very limited—cereal, yogurt, toast, coffee, and juice—enough for a light start but nothing filling. The pool area definitely needs work, as the fencing is rusted and falling apart, which feels unsafe with children around. Parking, however, was plentiful and convenient. The property seems to have both short-term guests and long-term residents, as some balconies were clearly personalized and decorated. Staff was overall kind and helpful, though communication could be limited at times. The front desk stood out as knowledgeable and professional; one staff member mentioned working there for over 16 years, which gave confidence in the management. We had one minor issue with our key cards, but maintenance quickly resolved it. Our room was comfortable, though very outdated in décor, but everything worked as needed. The big plus was having a working stove and oven, which made preparing meals easy. Wi-Fi was spotty but manageable. Overall, my family enjoyed our stay, and despite its dated look, the inn offered comfort, convenience, and good value for the location. We’ll keep it in mind for future visits. For a great nearby meal, check out South Shore Café—a cozy mom-and-pop spot serving delicious breakfast and lunch, highly recommended.
Hefty breakfast. Cornbread Benedict. Definitely can feed 2 people. Shareable portions at southshore Cafe
Must try breakfast & lunch spot located in the shopping center across from Inn
Delicious breakfast at southshore cafe across in the Inn
Basic breakfast drinks. The orange juice is Sunny D. Coffee is good.

Noisy families nearby, late at night. Old decor and fixtures, furniture, plumbing, lighting, etc. Booked double queen beds, but ended up with a single queen bed. “Continental breakfast” limited to coffee, toast, and chocolate treat. We had stayed here several times previously, but the property has become shabby. Desk personnel were friendly and efficient.
