I loved how tucked away it was and right next to the water. My wife and I enjoyed stargazing at night since there’s little to no lights out at the beach. The one thing I would ask for them to change is the mattress it was slightly uncomfortable as I can feel the springs on my back but other than that everything was wonderful

The Inn is right in front of the water. There are a few spots that you can have a drink and enjoy the scenery.

Pleasantly surprised at the condition of a beach front hotel. It might be a little worn, but it was clean and comfortable. Beautiful views and for bike fest, being able to see the stage from inside our room? Awesome.

Older hotel right on the beach with side window views. No balcony on the river but exterior benches on the parking lot side. Direct access to the board walk. Decent breakfast. Good stay, basic hotel with modest amenities. Great location for a low key beach setting.

Great stay!
It was very enjoyable I’d stay there again only thing I did not like was the shower the water wasn’t high pressured enough to even thoroughly rinse the lotion from the day completely off even with soap it was aggravating
