Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service

The staff was very helpful. Loved the homemade cookies and fruit in the lobby. However, be aware there is no mini fridge in room and only one available ice machine near pool area. We had to take walks serveral times to obtain ice. Bringing home leftovers from various restaurants was not available due to no area to warm them up. This is needed for a hotel who caters to families. Nice walkable distance from the beach, shopping and restaurants.

It is an Inn but priced like a hotel. Front desk seems least bothered about customer service and satisfaction. All queries and issues are just shrugged off. But the Inn is neat and clean. Good coffee and great cookies at the lobby. Super convenient location and parking. Just wish the customer service was better.

Great location - 1 block from West Beach. Could walk to nearby restaurants, along the walking path by beach. 10 minute walk to wharf. Room was comfortable and quiet (we had a 2nd floor room that faced parking lot, not pool). Good cookies at checkin plus some free wine when you check in.
