The place is fine for a short stay. Basically an upscale motel. Nice rooms, comfy bed, but nothing special.
I highly recommend Lavender Inn by the Sea. Professional and friendly staff, HUGE comfortable rooms, within walking distance from the Pier, State Street Theaters, shopping and dining, assortment of complementary breakfast items and happy hour wine/snacks AND a bottle of champagne in chilling in our fridge. We will definitely stay at the Inn again.
We loved the comfortable feel of the property and also went in a family bike ride along the beach with the complimentary cruisers
We love the Lavender Inn, close to the beach and very well kept, love The ambiance overall.
Great comfortable, quiet room. Walkably close to basic shopping, several dining options, and the beach.
We had booked a standard room with two queen beds. We were told to call the hotel when we arrived. The manager met us at the parking lot of the Inn with our keys. We were also upgraded to a larger room with tall ceiling (Room #1). The room was spacious, there was a bottle of Champagne in the room but no biscuits, no free wine and cheese due to Covid 19. There is a fridge and a coffee maker. beds were comfy, and room is clean/updated. Inn compound is lovely and it is two blocks from the water, 4-5 blocks from downtown and train station. We enjoyed our stay, took plenty of pictures in the beautiful courtyard. We wish our stay was longer. We will definitely come back. The only negative iwas that the hot water in our room was luke warm even with the faucet turned all the way to hot.
Booked a queen bed and requested early check in for a Friday afternoon wedding. At check in and again in early afternoon the room was not ready and was a king w/twin. Moved to another ready room but not actually ready. Eventually after much frustration was given a 3rd ready room. Joel was nice but first impression disappointing and stressful.
The location and friendliness of the staff made me feel at home.

I’m terribly sorry to hear you were disappointed with your recent stay with us. Our standard check in is 3PM to allow our housekeeping team to properly prepare each of our guest rooms, therefore we do not guarantee early check-ins when requested. It sounds like our team tried to accommodate you by offering you complimentary upgrades in hopes that it may be ready sooner. Please accept our sincere apologies for not meeting your expectations. Respectfully ~ Greg Broussard, Hotel Manager
