Great customer service from the entire staff! The rooms were well maintained and clean. We had an issue with a leak coming through the ceiling due to another guest flooding their bathroom above us, and we were moved to another room without issue. Would definitely stay again.

Loved the location especially the 1st floor with the patio. Short, easy walk to the beach. Rooms could use a little updating but overall clean and comfy.

Do it
Great view of the beach and the boardwalk. It was fun to watch the sun rise from the balcony and watching the surfers. The room was clean and comfortable. Getting the hot tub was a great idea, very relaxing at the end of the day.

Beach front
We had a lovely stay at Schooner Inn. It was clean, staff was friendly, there is a pool, ocean and bayside rooms. We had a stocked kitchenette which came in handy. Close to the boardwalk. I did not put 5 stars because it is not a luxury level hotel, it is an updated older property. We would stay again!

Inexpensive but comfortable
I enjoyed my stay at this hotel and would book again in the future. It was nice and quiet, the bed was so comfortable! Everything we needed was in walking distance! We spent most of our time at the beach and on the strip so it was perfect for our needs! The pool was great for my 6’3 finance who took pleasure swimming in the 8 ft deep pool! I would book here again it was so nice to be able to walk to the beach and then to the pool, to our room, to various restaurants! Everything was so close and convenient!
