I always enjoy staying at the Looking Glass because the staff is friendly, the rooms are clean, housekeeping and the ground staff are also helpful and friendly. During the cold months you can always get a something hot to drink. Dog area is kept clean, although everyone does not use the poop bags to clean up behind their pets.

This property is super awesome! Fresh baked cookies every night that were really good, not beach front but literally 40 feet from the beach. Nice quiet and relaxing stay. Super close to the food truck area as well. Will definitely stay again!

It's a cute little hotel right on the beach, so that's lovely. We had the two queen studio and I was surprised at the layout. It wasn't terrible, but the bathroom sink and vanity was outside of the bathroom. The room was really clean which was nice however the room smelled strange, like maybe you could smell the old smoking in that room? We just kept the window cracked to keep fresh air flowing. But for the price and location it was awesome. The front office is stocked with little snacks, and the workers are the nicest. We were also able to borrow and HDMI cable which surprised me, but was a nice perk during the SUPER rainy weekend.

It was nice! They even put some Christmas lights up in our room (because it’s close to the holidays) and that was a nice surprise. The room was clean and it was quiet.
