Nice Inn near the ocean and harbor.

Terrific inn near the ocean beach and Harbor - so easy to walk anywhere which is necessary because there is no restaurant. The room was nice very clean and comfortable, but a bit small if for more than1 person. It’s been redone but the AC is an old unit and goes on and off- often waking you up, it’s a bit loud and right next to the bed. Staff was great and pool and spa nice as well. I’d stay again for a short beach vacation. Really only the AC kept me from a higher rating.

Highly recommend.

Mason beach inn was great. You could tell it was freshly renovated and well kept. Our room was clean and everything was in order. Although this inn didn’t have breakfast, there was always coffee, tea, oatmeal cups and cookies in the lobby. There was also keurig coffee in our room. Upon checkin we were pleasantly surprised by 2 free alcoholic beverages of our choice. We did use the pool and jacuzzi which both had comfortable temperatures. The inn was a great walking distance to Stearns Wharf and yummy breakfast places at the funk zone. I would highly recommend this place.

The drink upon check in was a nice touch. The pool area was a little dated, and for some reason the pool was almost unbearably hot during our stay. Maintenance worked on it, but it put a damper on our stay.

This is the second time we have stayed in this hotel. The location is great. The beds are comfortable but it is very expensive. I think there was a surge price for Saturday night due to Fiesta (which we were not in town for so it was frustrating to spend over $600 for one night. The hotel is nice but not sure it was worth the money.

This hotel appeared to be one of the best presented and higher quality hotels in this this quieter area of town. We stayed in a suite that was spacious and well equipped with fridge, sink, microwave, sink - more than comfortable for family of four with teenagers. Pool and reception area was nice, welcome drinks and free coffee and cookies throughout stay nice touch. 5 mins walk to beach, 10 mins walk to State St. and 15 mins to Funk Zone. Felt perfectly safe walking at night so would be put off by location.
