The Inn is clean, and the views are remarkable. But to be truthful, it's showing its age. Still, we enjoyed our brief stay and would consider going back.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
It was a super nice room, very clean and great views! I wanted to get away but didn’t want to do much other than relax so it was nice to be right by the ocean and having a pathway to walk. There’s also lots of comfy chairs with great views. I usually always pick a cheap hotel but this was worth it for what you get, i believe I paid $180 for one night. Also, there are some stairs that lead down to the ocean and it’s very private not many people if any that were down there. I do wish check in time was earlier but that’s usually how hotels are. The breakfast was good too! I will definitely stay again.
