The location is fantastic, walking distance to the beach, pier and dining. The rooms are very well appointed and quite functional for an extended stay. CJ was very accommodating and gave us superb customer service. We will definitely be coming back soon! Highly recommend this charming Inn.

Christopher

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff was very hit or miss. The first check in person was pleasant and offered a ton of ideas what to do in the area. He said that a certain time was the check out time and I took it at face value. Ended up getting a nasty attitude from the individual working check out when we left and getting called a liar to my face (along with owing money for a now late check out). Property was decent but obviously not well cleaned in fairly obvious areas.

This inn was so lovely! We were greeted with freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and the manager Ben was so kind. He gave great suggestions on places to go to. Another cute add on is they let you rent their bikes so we got to ride bikes to the funk zone! Will definitely be back.
