Check in/out was easy, and very short walk to the beach, pool area close to room.The washer and dryers was out of order. Continental breakfast was sufficient typical bagels, toast, cereal and waffle maker. The hotel definitely is in need of renovations, it’s older and the pool needs to be resurfaced it has several spots where the concrete has broken up and can be unsafe. For smokers, you can either go to the Parking Garage or the beach. The elevator works but very slow and is infested with gnats. I’m a person who doesn’t like musty smells and I purchased air freshener and a citronella candle for the balcony. They need to spray for insect's, we ordered pizza to be delivered and the gnats were getting in our food.

The Inlander Inn staff can not be beat. From the folks at the front desk to the bartender at the bar, everyone was very friendly. It would be nice to have the gate to the pool from the hotel be fixed. I thought I would break it when opening or closing it. The pool got very cloudy by the last day we were there. It could have used a chlorine shock. These are not deal breakers in my book. We'll be coming back.

Ocean front. Close to the pier. Friendly check in. Adequate parking. Nice room layout. Downside, beds weren't great. Walls are thin, but expected in a dated building.

Definitely felt like a beach hotel. Well used, utilitarian, but adequate since easy access to the beach was the main attraction. The two small pools were a good change of pace. Breakfast was only average. Traffic getting on and off the island was terrible, so not having a kitchenette is something to consider. All in all, would stay there again.

It was just what it was supposed to be: Near ocean and beach, pool with a limited bar, close to town. What I was not so happy with was for the price, they could update their towels. They were horrible, scratchy. The breakfast, although it was nice to have it, they offer almost all carbs, hardly any protein or fruit. It could go a little later in the morning also.

This property is old and tired! We heard our neighbors clearly. We don't feel like we got $300/night value for what we paid. The bed was terribly uncomfortable, and the furniture was well used! Amenities were bare bones. Free breakfast was barely edible. Just everything was minimal and below today's standards. Very disappointing!

The property had all of the basic necessities I needed for a fun beach weekend! I had no problem with my parking spaces. The rooms were well appointed with everything I needed. The property is clean and the area is safe. Quite little niche tucked away off the main strip. It felt very private on this beach. Walkable to all the fun and restaurants!
