Nice hotel in a perfect location!
Very nice hotel across from the beach. Walking distance to restaurants! Great ambiance, friendly and attentive staff, large rooms with large bathrooms. Our deluxe king patio had a view of a back street that was very quiet and private. We preferred this to a pool view. The bed was comfortable. Only down side was no coffee maker in the room so we brought our own. Also no body wash that wasn't a big deal.

Nice place but missed small details.
My husband and I stayed here after our courthouse wedding ceremony. The room was big and we had booked an ocean view which was nice, but the hotel had missed that it was our wedding day. Other places I or any of my friends had stayed at would make sure to do something a little extra for such a special occasion but all in all a good stay!

Beautiful property, will definitely go back. The location is right across the street from the beach, nice rooms and pool. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is bc I told them it was our anniversary when I booked and it was never acknowledged at the hotel.

I traveled to the Inn with my wheelchair bound daughter. Our accessible room wad perfect with a large wheel in shower. Also plenty of room to move her around. The valet staff was exceptionally wonderful and helpful. I will be booking a room there again next year!

SBI is a winner.
The SBI is a lovely, smaller hotel right across from the beach. Great service by all staff. Food at the restaurant was superb. I'll be back!
