We have stayed at the Schooner multiple times over the years and enjoy the location and types of rooms. Unfortunately we saw a noticeable decline in cleanliness and care of the facilities during our most recent stay. The microwave was dirty, the sink didn’t drain properly, the whirlpool jets were weak and the coverlet on the bed was dirty. The room overall just was dingy looking compared to other past visits. However, the staff and maintenance crew were fabulous and helpful. We would like to try another stay, hoping for some improvements.

Rooms are accessed from the outside like a motel. Rooms were heavily scented with cleaner. Balcony side not facing ocean overlooked a construction area. It served its purpose for us, but we won't be back. Housekeeping was very kind and considerate

We basically enjoyed our stay, especially being on the beach and the hot tub, mini kitchen in the room. Everything seemed clean except for the floor. After we got out of the tub I took the floor mat and wiped up the water from walking to the bathroom and the towel was nasty meaning the floor was not clean. The chairs on the balcony was nasty looking as well.
