The general manager is one of the most kind people. He went above and beyond to assist me. I'm so grateful. The place was cute, and parking easy. My only worry was not having a signal there to make phone calls. The beach was easily walkable and absolutely beautiful. Thanks for a lovely stay!

This is a wonderful place to stay. The room was beautifully renovated, very clean, and with a comfy bed. We were warmly welcomed by Rishi. We loved the fact that they provided ceramic cups for the coffee and water glasses instead of plastic ones.

Couldn't have asked for more!

Our stay at the Sunset Inn was perfection! It started with a great deal we got here on hotels.com. We received a personal welcome text before we arrived in a warm welcome from Rishi. When we checked in he offered a sort of concierge service as he helpfully shared local recommendations for dining and things to do. Upon finding out we were celebrating our 1-year anniversary, he called for a bottle of wine, a fruit and cheese plate, and a beautiful bouquet of local flowers to be brought to our room. The room was nicely updated, and very clean. We found it very comfortable for our week's stay. Everyone, from the front office to the housekeeping staff were super friendly and always smiling. The Continental breakfast was what you would expect. It was simple but tasty. End was the Inn was in a perfect location, central to many things to do, but far enough out of the hustle and bustle. We will definitely stay here again!
