I had an Oceanfront efficiency and it was nice. The property is older and they have done what they can do to upgrade but, there are still things that can improve. The jetted tub was clean, worked well and was very relaxing. I enjoyed the opportunity to eat in my room while looking at the ocean.

Nice stay

Loved the view! Nice to be at the end of the beach. Friendly staff. Clean. There was a funky smell in the elevator. The room was nice…there was a strip between the 2 types of flooring that was not covering the seam between the flooring but it didn’t affect our stay in anyway. Just a poor aesthetic.

Open to giving the hotel another try.

Clean oceanfront hotel and friendly staff. Unfortunately our room door had issues staying shut, and the balcony door was hard to open. Maintenance tried to fix it but were not able to. I think they both need major repair. It was our anniversary trip and we ended up leaving 2 days early.

Hotels.com site had very positive reviews and they were right. The staff was wonderful and welcoming. The room was in tip top shape when I arrived. Everything that a good hotel room should have was there. And the room was thoroughly cleaned after my first night! When I stay for two nights at a hotel the room is often not cleaned after the first night. Great view and good location.

Our favorite place to stay

Always interesting at the Schooner Inn. Best prices on the ocean but not the fanciest. Plain and simple is what you get. Great location near Rudee Inlet provides entertainment all hours of the day. If the weather is bad, you can sit inside and watch the waves crash and surfers too. I think it may be time to replace the mattresses again.
