I expected a little more service for my money. The rooms are only made up every three days so you are using the same sheets and towels for 3 days. The staff was hard to locate. The only person who was available usually was the person at the front desk who also handled many other tasks. If you happened to have a room on the top floor at the far end of the hotel it was a long way to go to find out where the ice was!

Overall, the Inn was good and in a very good location to walk to the beach with good parking. The lobby is immaculate and the breakfast was great. However, it is still an upgraded motel, with the doors opening to the parking lot, so it is noisy and not top of the line.
