    The facility needs much painting, updating, etc inside the building. The outside areas and the view were very good. The upkeep outside needs some work but we did like sitting outside.

    There was no breakfast but we liked the coffee. The view was excellent. We saw one person that helped register us early.

    The inn has seen better days in terms of a resort property. The room that I had was uncomfortably hot, and there was no hot water in my room. It took several minutes for the get the water to get slightly warm enough to tolerate a very quick shower. I found out the inn was used as an adult care center at one point and that would explain the appearance of the shower in the room. The addition of a small refrigerator and an ice machine would go a long way in making this room more comfortable for your guests.

    The Inn definitely did not meet our expectations. It was very hot in the room, no air conditioning and only one fan. We actually went and purchased a second fan since there was no staff to ask for another one. The check in process was definitely not expected, with no staff there waiting for us. It didn't seem very secure. It had the vibe of an AirBnB, not an Inn. The only time we saw a staff member was during breakfast set up and then they were gone as soon as they arrived. We were disappointed in the upkeep of the grounds, everything seemed overgrown and unmaintained. There was an overgrown shrub/bush that nearly blocked our view of the water. The pictures that we saw online at at the Inn's website did not match what was actually observed on site. Also, the "steps" to get to the beach were a bit treacherous.

    Once we were able to get down to the beach it was nice to sit and read and walk along the beach

    Since there was no staff present and we didn't see any other people, it was pretty bizarre. It almost felt like we were invading a private property. There was no cleaning of the room. The continental breakfast was nice.

    Very quaint and quiet. We may have been the only ones there.

    It could use some sprucing up. The room price is steep considering the deferred maintenance issues.

    The inn is charming and the location is idyllic. The property manager Charlene was amazing. So helpful, and even took extra time to ensure the room was spotless. It’s clear that while it’s glory days are behind it, the inn is doing its best to provide a relaxing and comfortable stay. Very hands-off with door codes for entry, but that worked for me. Would definitely recommend to a similar person.

    staff on site, furniture in room , hot water, breakfast as advertised, accommodation worthy of the high price - see description above.

    the room did not look like the web site picture. sparse furniture- nowhere to put clothing, lukewarm water, no staff on site for the 2 days. I felt unsafe- I was the only person staying there. Breakfast was an envelope of oatmeal. grounds were in bad shape. Spiders in room. No hangars in closet very small TV. The Inn as advertised does not exist. I chose the room with 4 poster bed and jet tub when I booked. Bed was King size but had no spread so box springs in full view. Worst experience I have ever had. I would require compensation for the high cost over $400.00. Not sure I can trust your descriptions again.

    -The website NEEDS updating. Correct pictures of what's offered in each room and list of amenities is way off. -No robes provided. -Could still smell new paint. -Room was dusty with outdated furniture. Needs refreshing. Needs repair! -Bushes obstructed our view of water. -No staff for checking in or out/payment. We got there at 8:30. No receipt provided. -No kitchen, so no meals. - Didn't know which rooms came with a fireplace. We didn't have one. -Very poor security. -Only one microwave for everyone to share. -Bad coffee and "continental breakfast" was lacking.

    -We had a small outdoor patio (see picture). -Ice maker, snacks, and the few breakfast items were ok. -The upstairs balcony, exterior, and grounds are beautiful! (Our room was downstairs. Room 3.) -Bed was comfortable. Bedding was soft. -Charmaine (the only staff we ever saw) was pleasant and tried to accommodate our needs.

    Facilities need some replacements, maintenance. Toilets ran all night disturbing sleep a bit, carpet in stairway needs replacement, curtain track in room are worn and hard to close. More chairs on beach are needed. There was only two.

    Breakfast was ok, but would like hot served breakfast better. It was quiet and in a nice location. Nice beach.

    Inn is not as it is shown. we did not receive the same room we booked. no staff on site. "balcony" was dirty with 1 chair that connected to a shared upstairs patio. Room had 1 chair, 3 light did not work, "garden" was dead nothing living, grounds were not taken care of, the "beach access" is not easy or well kept.

    A small fridge would be nice, the hot water took forever, so long we didn't think we had any, the bed was really small, also we switched rooms with my son Timothy Crawford the reason is the stairs to our room were so steep and I'm on oxygen, there should have been an elevator, also I do believe I asked how the parking was, I have difficulty with elevated driveways they should have mentioned the steep stairs. Also you never see any staff. I also will add the pictures posted of the Inn DID NOT MATCH the actual rooms, the whole place really seemed in disrepair, the the money I expected something much better not to mention that very large black spider!

    The breakfast was fine, the room was ok except for the large spider.

    The breakfast items, though great variety, could have been better quality, though in the time of Covid it's tough to maintain an inventory of fresh food. And the variety made up for it. The room was typical hotel room thought the bed was very nice, nice sheets and pillows.

    Loved sitting on the patio with a glass of wine, watching a whale and the sunset and the birds. Loved the hot tub! Staff was very good! The variety of breakfast items was great. Coffee was good.

    there was no staff. it was eerie. you check-in alone, people can walk around the building with no management. I didn’t feel safe at all (flimsy doors / locks). Breakfast was just basic grocery items, no hot foods. Someone puts the food out but there’s no staff around or to be seen. Furniture is old & dated. Overall a poor stay, I wouldn’t recommend.

    the view is amazing. it was clean enough
