We really enjoyed our stay at the Southern Oaks Inn. We have a large dog so finding a place to stay in the historic district can be a challenge. From checkin\out, Staff, Room, facility, outside grounds, morning buffet, Large dog park all great. The room had only one thing I would change and that is for a quieter dehumidifier. Room was very clean, Bed comfortable and generally the entire Inn is in very good condition; all well maintained. The Inn is close to the ocean and there is no way to shut off the dehumidifier, so that takes some getting used to in particular for sleep. The room comes with a large doggy bed, 2 collapsible dog bowls and some other bedding that we did not use for our dog. Parking is basically at your room door as this is a motel style Inn. Morning buffet has adequate selections to eat and what I we had was good. We did not use the pool but it looked very nice. The shuttle service is very good taking you to either the Historic downtown or Vilano beach for $10 a day (the shuttle is dog friendly). Would highly recommend with or without a pet.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this property! Traveling with our dog, we chose to stay here twice—once on our way south and again on our way back home—primarily because of its exceptional dog-friendly environment. Unlike some hotels that offer subpar accommodations for pet owners, this hotel provided a clean and well-maintained room that met high standards. Conveniently located across from the dog-friendly rooms is a charming dog run/park, complete with complimentary poop bags. Each room was thoughtfully equipped with a dog bed and bowls, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. I also appreciated the flowers and landscaping, which contributed to the hotel's charm. The breakfast offered was good, and the staff serving it were friendly.

For the price, you can’t beat it here. The room was clean and the staff were friendly! Our room did have a strong smell from the cleaner that bothered me. But I am glad it was clean! Parking was $20 a night- annoying as their is plenty of parking and there shouldn’t be a charge. The shuttle was really convenient! Breakfast was a let down- they advertise a variety of foods, but the only hot foods daily were eggs, limp sausage, and pancakes. I’d return- but I would know not to get my hopes up for breakfast.

Property was decent, our room was clean and has been partially renovated. The one thing is that I was charged a 20 us parking fee at the hotel and this was not communicated to me during check in. At the price we paid ( on Expedia) the hotel was decent but with the “surprise” parking fee I would have look at other properties and the whole thing left me a bit bitter.
