Friendly staff. Rooms are very dated and worn out. Wall is rotten around the door and A/C unit, which is a window unit with a hole cut in the wall. Wallpaper peeling off the wall. Water stained, drooped ceiling. Rough shape.

The heater in our room kept running. We set our room to 68 and our room got up to 87 degrees. We had to turn on air conditioner. Front desk is NEVER there. Don't believe the sign that says be back in 10 minutes. We just stayed 2 nights 10/4 and 10/5. Roll aways are $20.... so she's too lazy to get you one.

The room was clean but VERY run down. We booked a room with 3 queen beds. The bedding was very dated. Two lamps didn’t work and one was totally missing a lamp shade. Carpet was worn at door frames. Will not stay again.

The area was ran down. Our tvs didn’t work and when it did the channels werent available. For the money we spent per night we could’ve stayed at a higher place than this. Do not book here.

They really are a bit deceptive with the cabins. They use pictures of the new beachfront cabins for all of them, but some of them are actually 1950s courtyard. Be careful what you are booking. That being said, the beachfront cabin was absolutely fantastic.

This property needs lots of love. Room was clean but workmanship on tiles is poor, door was in poor condition, outside stairs and balcony were in unsafe condition. Would not recommend this Inn to anyone. Only good thing was the room rates.

These were easily the most uncomfortable beds my family and I have ever slept on. We had big plans to sleep in and leave later in the morning but ended up leaving early due to the discomfort. The room was fairly clean but a lack of pest control meant bugs were able to get in the room anytime the door was opened. The view was amazing but overall it was not worth the money.
