    Balcony slats were too far apart—not safe for kids

    Nice room with kitchenette, space to be outside and grill, right next to the beach

    The toilet in our room was so close to the wall we had to sit on it sideways. Couldn't fit between the shower wall and the sink. No fan in the bathroom. Showers are tiny. It would've been nice to have ice right at the inn instead of a block away. The overhead light flickered so that we couldn't use it. Would have been nice to have a larger table in the room and a shade over the porthole window. Also we managed with the communal fridge and microwave but it would probably keep us from booking there again.

    Closeness to the beach. Cleanliness. Size of the room. Friendliness of the staff. Beds were decently comfortable.

    We were not aware there would be stairs to the room. We would of liked a mini fridge in the room. Daily cleaning came late in the day . The tub was difficult to get into for a shower.

    Good location very peaceful and quiet.

    Had to ask 3xs (Sunday Morning, Monday Morning then Monday Evening) for a new Keurig Machine as the one in the room stopped working. Train goes by around 5am every morning- didn’t bother me but someone who is a light sleeper may not like.

    So close to the beach. Clean and comfortable

    The beds were very uncomfortable. The rooms floors also could have been cleaner it was a bit dusty and our daily turn down service did not turn down our room even with the please turn down room sign on the door.

    We liked the access to various property pools and the closeness of the beach. We also enjoyed that all rooms had balconies and chairs on those balconies.

    The coffee at our unit was all decaf. Please spare me the indignity.

    The location was convenient, and the entire place was clean; there was a garden hose to wash off the sand from the beach in the backyard, and the ocean was only 500 fit away, so I got up early and went fishing.

    When booking, it is hard to tell if you're getting a room at the inn or motel. I thought I had a motel room. We didn't have our own fridge and microwave in the room. Beds were not great and bathroom door didn't close all the way.

    Amazing location and clean room

    Noise from train (not their fault or anything that can be changed, but if you’re a light sleeper bring ear plugs).

    Convenient location to the beach and activities on the pier.

    Not the fault of the motel I guess I should of did my Google street view homework . There was a train that went by all night hourly and blew off he horn relentlessly. The train at 3 am shook the building. . I can sleep thru anything as I live near a trucking company but trains I guess I met my match

    Near the beach. Cute deck , clean and well equipped
