Room was good, location was great. Only complaint is that we checked in a little after 3:00 and since housekeeping was already gone for the day, we were unable to get anything extra for our room. We were looking for an extra pillow and some blankets and were unable to get them.

The room was clean, the beds were decent. The breakfast was very underwhelming, and apparently, it will be even worse starting 11/11. Though I didn't expect an ocean view because I didn't pay for it, I did not expect our patio to just back up into a bunch of air conditioners running from the building inches from the patio. The worst was that our keys were turned off by 10:30, when check out is not until 11:00. My kid was walking the beach and couldn't get back in with their key. Thankfully I didn't go with them or we would have both been locked out. At least give us the full amount of time in our room.

The Inn was very clean and conveniently located. We had an easy check in and the staff was very pleasant and courteous. There was some noise between the rooms, but nothing too loud.
