No toilet paper . WiFi didn’t work. No one to answer if you need anything from 10 pm-8am and the huge jet bathtub which is the only good thing about the 300 dollar tiny room was broken. Was offered another night on them and then ignored for two weeks and still being ignored.

The man at the front desk was kind and funny upon checking us in. The door to the room was definitely unsafe in terms of locking. The door also face the pool and the curtains weren’t blackout so any passerby could have glimpsed us in some peculiar positions like getting out of the shower etc. some quick changes could include adding blackout curtains, add a small cheap stand to the bathroom to place toiletries and wash cloths, consider including two bottles of inexpensive water in the rooms. To increase luxury they could add memory foam toppers to the mattress to increase comfort.

Hotel room was clapped. Beds were terrible. The kitchen cupboards were falling off hinges. Just all in all crappy room for price. AC worked good and close walk to beach but all in all probably wouldn’t stay here again.

The stairs felt really weird, they sink in a bit and are a trip hazard. My wife tripped and fell down them badly while holding our 2 year old and they wouldn’t let us file an incident report

The building is a little outdated. Toilet paper holder was broken. There was only one towel when we arrived-- we were expecting 4, as we reserved for a room for 4 occupants. Nevertheless, proximity to the beach was nice. The staff was courteous.

Liked that it was close to the beach and restaurants. The area around the hotel was dirty and our room was clean, TV worked but couldn’t get a good picture, scrambled. Walls are thin and you can hear other people talking and kids playing. Beds are comfortable. We would probably not stay here again.

Check in room had nothing when listed a kitchen. Asked for spatular dish soap and dish cloth and toaster. They bring us a spoon, toaster a face cloth and a plastic cup with some soap to wash dishes. They also wanted to charge us 30 to check in early at noon then wanted to charge extra to leave your car after check out at 10am. I would never stay there again.

My stay at the Ships Inn was fair. The staff was very friendly. The facility could use some basic cleaning and upgrades. Some obviously old marks and dirt on the walls, appliances etc. Some broken items in the room. The beds and linen were clean though. Bathrooms were also clean. The second room I stayed in had a lock to the door that was very difficult to use. Very difficult to lock from the outside. It is also too close to the frame. Hard to use without injuring your hand. The facility is what I thought it would be. It was okay for 2 adults. If I had young children I would have been a little uncomfortable with the conditions.
