Beach access was the best part. Rough area at night did not feel safe as a solo traveler. Staff was great

Ocean view inn not a 5 star hotel but the private beach the view was awesome and that's exactly what our family wanted a few feet away from beach we had a great time the housekeeper was really nice. Community beach free parking with a nice park for little ones and basketball court, not far from hotel.
Room had a bad smell, and roaches. There is not a beach view from the room, but it is right on the beach which was nice. Check in guy was nice. We did not use any of the amenities
The accommodations were exactly what we expected and wanted. With the exception of a large Roach that came out on my second day, that I had to kill. The stay was perfect. We were on a fishing excursion and it was the right place at the right time for the right price. Really appreciated the stay, and would consider staying again under the same circumstances.
There is a wonderful large patio area overlooking the bay, we enjoyed our morning coffee there and also lunch. A short walk over to a beautiful beach. Nice and quiet. Already reserved for our next visit.
I was hesitant to book my stay because of bad reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed my stay. Great price for an ocean view property. The beach was great, the coffee in the lobby was tasty. Bed and shower were great. Would stay again.
This was a super cheap room on a beautiful beach, close by restaurants. For a one night stay great! I was nervous about leaving my suitcases in the car so brought them in. It's a little seedy, but it's a cheap room. That's what you get. All and All, I would stay here again. Your just a few steps from the beach!
Less than a min to get to the beach. They put fresh towels in our room and toilet paper. They have rules but they are for the safety of thier visitors to maintain a safe establishment for thier customers.we will be coming back here!!!
Great location with view to the ocean. Smoke odor was present. Easy access to beach area and calm water. Better amenities are recommended for a pleasant stay.
We have mow stayed here several times this summer. The rooms are clean, and many have been renovated. We were able to have three adjacent rooms without issue. Any issues are IMMEDIATELY addressed and resolved! (they always have to help me with the TV remote! lol)
The beach is our favorite part because you literally walk from the parking lot ONTO a clean, uncrowded beach.
We will continue to return here!!

As a small hotel, they did a good job trying to remodel. Hopefully they will add a wardrobe or something to hang your clothes, jackets, etc in the room. It would have also been nice to have a hook on the bathroom door or a place to hang bathing suit or whatever to dry. Otherwise it was a decent stay. I'd stay again for that price.
