The staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpful during my stay. I stayed in a 2nd-floor waterfront room again, and although I didn't use the balcony as much as I had in summer, the views out the windows were still lovely, and I got to see a few sunsets. My room was large and had a king-sized bed, a couch, a table with two chairs, a good-sized flat-screen TV, a refrigerator, a microwave, and a coffeemaker. A dehumidifier was in the room, but it was less humid this time of year, so it didn't need to be emptied. Shampoo, soap and lotion were provided. The products were good quality, and I remembered to bring my own conditioner, and I am not sure why it isn't provided. I was pleased that the wifi was working on this trip, as that has been an issue on each of my previous visits. The tv lineup also had more selection. They may have switched providers for more reliable service. The heater in the room kept the room hot, it got a little too hot at times and it was just set on 63 but that made the room closer to 75. The lowest the wall unit went was 58. I couldn't find a way to shut off the ceiling fan. The bathroom could have used more attention with the cleaning. The showerhead had a lot of buildup and didn't appear to have been cleaned for months; black mold on the shower tiles and the floor could use a cleaning. It could use a deep cleaning or remodel, as the toilet was outdated and used a lot of water. Breakfast was served between 7:30 and 9:30. You could get tea or coffee, OJ, and a bagel or yogurt. It came fast this visit on the days I called for it. I left early on my last day, so I wasn't there for breakfast. They used to include the yogurt too. With the high room prices here, I hope the bathrooms are updated and cleaned, and that the breakfast options improve.

They have an inviting library lounge with a awe inspiring widow's walk overseeing the dock and inlet. We saw dolphins! This stunning motel style inn has doors that open to the outside. The Inn is not without faults, bathrooms need updating, the elevator is extremely slow and the abysmal continental breakfast is sad, very, very sad. Since paying nearly 300.00 off season, one would hope for a few more polished extras. A better breakfast and perhaps serving wine in their lounge during happy hour, would push this into a luxurious 5 star Inn. I would gladly pay for the extras just for the convenience. Overall an enjoyable stay.

We also ate at the hotel restaurant and were impressed with both the quality of the food and the atmosphere. Overall, this hotel was a highlight of our trip. The staff, accommodations, and location all exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed our stay so much that we've already decided this will be part of our annual trip.

I made a reservation over the phone as I was told this is a family run business and I wanted to…read moresupport that. We paid $600 for four nights. Upon arrival to our room and opening the door we got hit with a really bad smell of mildew and mold. It was very musty and gross. Everything was dusty and the carpet was nasty. I don't even wanna walk around in my socks kind of dirty. I called the office But apparently they're closed after 9 o'clock. I left several messages in the middle of the night with no response to the following day in the afternoon. Heard back from Mr. Michael Laurence who is very condescending And told me that there was no smell in the room and he had three other people confirm that. He said he was not going to issue a refund and that it's not his fault that I had to sleep in my car because the room doesn't smell and that it must be me. I mention the fact that there was someone smoking crystal math in front of one of the rooms and he told me to mind my business. Do not stay at this place if you enjoy cleanliness and any shred of class. This place is not worth 150 a night and the service is not worth a single dollar. I generally don't leave bad reviews Especially when it's a family owned business but when the owner does nothing to make things right and just kind of blame things on you, it makes me feel that I need to bring awareness to this so it doesn't happen to you too. Pay the extra $50 a night and go stay at the Palms suites. it's literally a minute away. And as for Michael, shame on you sir ! Shame on you! I've attached pics of the filth and the micro shower that I didn't even fit in. If only smells could come thru pics, your phone would melt.

Christina, our…read moremain point of contact, was incredibly friendly and helpful from start to finish, which really set the tone for a relaxing stay. The price was very reasonable considering the location, just a short walk (about 400 feet) to the beach. That said, be aware that the stairs down to the beach are pretty steep, so it might be a bit tricky if you're carrying a lot of gear or have mobility concerns. Our double queen room was the perfect size for two people. I could see it working for two adults and maybe two small kids, but I wouldn't recommend it for a larger group. The room stayed wonderfully cool thanks to a quiet and efficient AC, which was much appreciated during the heat wave this part of the country was experiencing during our trip. It was clean, comfortable, and had just about everything we needed. A couple small improvements like more outlets between the beds, blackout curtains, and maybe a desk or vanity in the little nook near the bathroom would've made it even better. One thing to note is that sound travels easily through the walls, so you'll likely hear folks walking by or chatting outside. It didn't ruin our stay, but it's something to be aware of. Outside, the hotel really shines. There's a patio area with a shower to rinse off after the beach, plus an outdoor lounge area with games, beach toys, umbrellas, even an outdoor kitchen setup. They also offer two bikes with gear storage for guest use, which was a nice bonus. Some of the more amazing room photos online appear to be from units renovated as part of a TV restoration series, so just be sure to check which type of room you're booking. Overall, we were really happy with our stay. For the price, location, and all the thoughtful extras, it's a great value and we'd absolutely recommend it.

We chatted with the owner and his daughter separate times and they were so nice and friendly! He recommended we go to the crab shack for dinner (a 5 minute walk) and it was such a good choice.

The beach is a short walk connected directly through a boardwalk, we were able to leave the room barefoot and go directly to the water. There is an outdoor cooking area along with a foot wash station/shower connected to the board walk. The hotel is also a very short ride to the aquarium, super fun! Will definitely be back again!
