Well...We drove into the small parking area and someone had scattered her wardrobe all over her car. At first we thought she was homeless. But, she was staying there. We were given a parking spot that extended out car into the street. So, we demanded a better spot. So, the manager gaves us his spot in close proximity to our room. The room was clean and the bathroom was fabulous. The shower head was wonderful. The inn dosent "wow" you. We didnt spend a lot of time in our room. F Y I...This is not a discounted experience.

Hotel and location were fantastic. I would absolutely recommend- my only caveat was that we had planned this for our 20th anniversary and had planned to send a bottle of wine up to our room as a surprise for my spouse, but even though it was set up with the front desk, it was never followed through with. Regardless, overall, it was a great place.

I was greeted by the one of the kindest individuals I have encountered in a while. The hospitality was greatly appreciated. The property appears to be recently upgraded with a very comfortable feel amidst beautiful scenery. We will definitely stay here again should we find our travels leading us back.

We had a nice time at Sunset Inn. The manager, Rishi, was really nice and gave us a ton of local recommendations when we arrived. The room itself had everything you'd need, even if a bit awkwardly arranged. We got the room with the jetted tub, but the shower (also in the tub) had problems draining so we weren't sure of its cleanliness and didn't end up using it. We found a clump of hair on the shower wall after check-in so that added to our concerns. The property is probably walkable to the beach, and the lighthouse, but not really walkable to any food. You have to drive to get anywhere. Sometimes parking is crowded if you get back later at night (one night it was full but Rishi helped us find a spot). The price was decent compared to the rest of the area but I'm not sure we'd stay there again.
