It smelled so bad we left after they couldn't accomadate us in another room. To date there has not been a refund on the room. Also, the photos of the room are not even close to the same as what they are offering. When I brought that up they said that didn't matter. Well, what else is there when you are trying to find a place to stay? You look at the room photos...

Rooms with a view of the ocean, especially from the second floor. The gas fireplace was nice and felt cozy on a chilly summer day. We prefer the cottages to the hotel rooms, cozier, spacious, kitchen facilities, old but well-kept.

We liked revisiting a place we stayed with our children, years ago. It is showing its age, like the rest of us. I do have some items to address. The hot and cold in the sink are reversed. The non-slip strips do not go to the back of the tub which makes it dicey getting out. The toilet float stuck and required jiggeling to refill. The fog was bad but no fault of yours. Thank you.

The bed was the worst bed I have ever encountered. I have a challenging back and I was worse off after trying to sleep on it so consequently only slept 2 hours that night. Ocean view but three double passion windows had a seal broken on all of them that caused moisture to seap in and obscure your view. Honestly I don’t know how this facility can get operational approval from the city. I paid to stay for two nights but left at 8,00 a.m. the following morning. And to think I paid 400.00 dollars to get a back ache and no sleep is totally absurd. Will not recommend this place at all.

Thumbs Up!

This Inn is right on the oceanfront, with a million-dollar view of the ocean from the rooms. It's a little dated, but clean and well appointed. The staff were all very courteous, and solicitous of the guests' needs. The only negative would be that the window didn't have a screen on it, which would've allowed me to leave the window open all night to enjoy the ocean breezes and sounds of the waves crashing.

Ain't trying to bash the property but if youre gonna charge what you do then i expect the property and rooms to be far better than they were. Would never pay what we did again or stay there again. Rooms were a landlord special. One of the walls wasn't connected in many places. Lots and lots of wear and tear. Curtains needed replaces. No smoke alarm. No lock on the door from the inside which made me feel not at ease. Cigarettes all over the property. The list goes on. When i booked the room i expected the picture i saw and got far different from it.

Amazing staff and place! It was what I needed to get away! I will come back again. Only complaint is the water turned cold for a few minutes. Also, the kids on top of us were running until 10pm so if you get easily annoyed, do the top floor. I didn’t mind it.

We booked an "ocean view cottage" at this "Inn" because of the advertised view. The view of the ocean and beach was 5 star. The bed was clean and comfortable. Furnishings were decent. The staff was helpful and friendly. It is walking distance to the very expansive beach. Those are the good. The bad: It is a motel, the room is an old, dated suite (not a cottage as advertised) in a varying state of disrepair - nothing "nice" about this "quaint" room. This was a dog "friendly" accommodation - we had our dog with us, but she is walked multiple times during the day, stays only on blankets, etc. The carpet in this place had obviously been used multiple times by dogs and not acceptably (or ever) cleaned. Folks, it is amazing what a can of spot shot and about ten minutes can do. Worn out filthy carpet up a stairway to a busted up entry door with a strap metal repair gives the first impression of what one will find inside. Summary: Amazing view, the rest was a real disappointment.
