Nice but wouldn’t return,excellent courteous staff

The first room they gave us had an overpowering mildew smell that had my nose tickling within seconds of entering. After 10 minutes with windows open we asked to switch rooms. We were able to switch but to a smaller room that at least smelled fresh. What I thought strange was that when we told the front desk about the smell, no one seemed concerned or interested. No one said I’m sorry or we will check into that. We had the feeling that they knew very well this room was mildewy but weren’t doing anything about it. Aside from that issue, the staff was exceedingly nice and courteous during our stay. The pictures on the website look way better than real life. This inn is a bit worn and old but quaint and has a nice view of the ocean. Given the numerous quaint inns in SB to choose from, I don’t think I’d stay here again.

Choose your room wisely

Room choice makes all the difference here. Rooms can be noisy (facing road, fire-pits or pool) or dark and small (lower level facing parking lot) carpeting doesnt feel fresh. Air conditioning units were noisy and we had to have maintenance come 2x to fix the pump. Staff is friendly and helpful

Nice stay, great location!

The hotel is nice and it was a lovely stay. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Just a few things to call out. 1) more towel bars in the bathroom and sink area would be great addition; 2) the walls/doors to the hallway are super thin - kids running down the hallways was really noticeable; 3) Can only comment on my room, but maybe time to update the mattresses, a bit like sleeping in a hole.
