Very Good

Basic but clean, simple budget motel style property right across street from beach by a block. If you don’t plan in staying in your room and just need a basic clean room to crash this place works great.
Amazing, quiet little place just a few steps from thr beach.

Location Location Location
Location is excellent, staff helpful but rooms are a little loud. Unfortunately I had a young group stay right next to me and can hear everything at 3am.
I’ve stayed here before and like it. It’s a one mile walk to Stearns harbor area, so I like walking over and not dealing with parking. Quiet area mostly.
We enjoyed being close to the beach and could walk just a block away to enjoy morning coffee with our toes in the sand. The room, especially the shower area, was dirty. There was hair and the tiles need a good scrub. My little one walked through the room barefoot and it was clear by looking at his feet that the floors need better cleaning. If you need room service, it needs to be requested which we did not learn about until a few days in. I take responsibility for not asking but we did need to empty our own trash and request fresh towels after several days.
Small property, they have small but full kitchen. The first room had an issue and management handed it right away. We had a great time. Luxurious accomodations at a smaller property. Near the zoo and beach. Management was very responsive to all of our needs. Thank you!!
This is our 2nd time staying here. We like it because it’s dog friendly, clean, close to the strand and reasonably priced. We did get a room with a the fireplace this time but it wasn’t working
Great location 2 blocks to East Beach, good affordable option that was renovated in the last few years. Jimmy was very happy to help. Refrigerator in all rooms. Microwave and toaster in lobby.
Very clean and fantastic location. Highly recommend.

This property is in a great location and very close to the beach. It needs a ton of updating and is not very clean. I would stay here again due to location and friendly staff.
This is a quaint “throwback” motel which is cute and close to a lovely walk around the beach and has access to street parking. It is also close to many good restaurants. I would stay here again.
We loved it here, just next time we would stay on the top floor. Downstairs hears every footstep of the people upstairs. Our upstairs neighbors were like a herd of elephants keeping us awake between 2:30 am and 4 am. The place is lovely and the staff are wonderful and super kind. The rooms are definitely not sound proof

Cute and convenient
The inn was so cute and conveniently located to the beach. Over it was clean but there were other people’s hair on the ground and on the sink around the mirror which grossed me out a little bit. Other than that everything else was great!
