The Inn is your typical beach weathered motel style property. Rooms are clean and well kept up and the Wi-Fi worked greatly. Location is amazing, 2.5 blocks from the water, ample food options and a 7/11 nearby. If you're looking for a resort, this ain't that. But if you're looking for a clean place to sleep and chill as needed, this place is golden.

This property was unsafe. The stairs were about ready to fall through the railing was rusted. There was no elevator for my disabled husband the rooms were dirty, blankets stained, unable to get extra linens, blankets, or pillows. Refrigerator, microwave and lights barely worked and looked like they were to about Short circuit. Whoever owns this place needs to do some serious upgrades and do them correctly it said our room was newly renovated and only thing that looked like it was new might be then sink in the bathroom and the shower which were not done very well. Only thing I can say is the woman that showed us our room and work the front desk and also clean the rooms was very accommodating and was able to get us our room as soon as we got there instead of waiting until 3:00. Other than that the owner has a lot of work to do.

Theres no denying that the motel is older. However it was extremely clean! I am fussy about cleanliness in a hotel or motel and this location blew me away. It smelled amazing and was well tended. The staff are extremely kind and even my toddlers liked them. The location is extremely convenient! We walked to thr beach and beach shops. Also very short drive to local stores and attractions. In short, its an older facility, with no frills. But the staff ,location, cleanliness and price make it more than worth it. We will be back!

The manager/owner (unsure), was pretty nice and helpful! The motel itself, was a bit dirty, floor was dusty, mirror was dirty, blankets had stains, and there was a white powdery substance on the AC unit, but you could tell it had been cleaned. Linens were clean, aside from staining. Overall for the price its decent, i would just recommend bring disinfectant wipes in case you run into anything questionable on a surface they may have missed while cleaning. Walking distance to the beach, shops and places to eat. I would stay there again if i needed an affordable place close to the beach

Other times was good but not this time.
The lady that checked me in was very very rude this time. I will never stay at this place again. I come all the way from Florida every 2 weeks and stayed at this this place every time, this time is the 3rd time It was condensation on the floor because it's a big gap under the door of 214 so everything was wet. Shower curtain wasn't clean dead water bug behind the chair. Just all out a bad stay this time and will be the last time.
