My son, who is off from college, travelled with me while I was working FL and we took an extra day to rest. We were fortunate enough to find the Inn and it was awesome. Even though it's not a new property, the upkeep, for being on the beach is great! An absolute paradise and the service and amenities were absolutely unique and perfect. We LOVED IT. Breakfast was incredible and the folks were so accomodating. I WILL be back with my wife. Great property, great beach, great value! If you want the Marriott, don't go, I don't want the Marriott, and I loved it! More the feel of staying in a super-large, well-built home.

We had the misfortune of arriving late - the "night auditor" was in charge of check in and took 45 MINUTES to complete the check in. They had not saved the king bed room we had reserved, so she promised to move us into an appropriate room the next day and offered a room upgrade for all the trouble and the long wait. She printed out a new reservation confirmation at price quoted for the original room. Next morning the desk clerk informed me we would have to pay $60.00 a night for the upgrade and she had been told by the night auditor that we had agreed. When I said that had not been the offer and we had not agreed to an increased room rate, she made me wait for the manager, who still would not honor the offer, but found us a king bed room, which is all I had requested. A little while later, I walked back into the office for restaurant advise, to find the desk clerk rudely talking about our encounter. Then, the next morning, an employee in the kitchen was telling a guest about the situation, naming my room number! Upon check out, there was an error on the bill (in my favor). When I pointed it out, the same clerk corrected the bill, collected the additional payment and never bothered to say thank you.
This hotel is in an excellent location on a beautiful beach with a nice view. They cook a very nice breakfast, have wine and cheese in the afternoon and have an honor bar. They rent beach chairs and umbrellas for a nominal fee. There is a nice swimming pool and the rooms are clean.
The building is dated, the air conditioner fans are noisy enough to wake you up, and the walls are thin enough that activities next door wake you up also. Beds are middle aged. The hot and cold water in the sink were backwards. They never provided clean glassware in the room. There is not enough parking - the lask people in at night are left with no parking space.
It is unfortunate that a few people at this hotel have such bad attitudes. The rest of the staff was a delight, but the lack of a simple thank you or apology from the manager or the week day desk clerk made this gossipy hotel's attributes pale.

The hotel has a very dated feel. No elevators so if you get a second floor room plan on schlepping all your luggage up and down flights of stairs. Check-in was pretty quick. Front desk staff was okay until we had to ask for an extra blanket and the night staff person had no idea where the blankets were. She gave us a shower curtain to use.

We stayed in a pool view room. The room smelled strongly of bug spray and the smell didn't get any better during our one night stay. The mattress was like sleeping on a trampoline. The carpet was coming up around the edges and looked very worn especially near the sliding glass door.

The only nice thing I can stay about the room was the balcony was nice with the rocking chairs. It was nice to go out there and escape the smell of bug spray from the room. It's a quick walk to the beach from the hotel.

We opted for the park and cruise option. The shuttle was prompt in picking us up and getting us to the port. There was however a major issue getting picked up from the port once we disembarked. It took nearly an hour waiting before a shuttle showed up to get us and the original shuttle service that we were booked with ended up giving us to another shuttle service. Meanwhile, other passengers that stayed at other resorts were quickly picked up while we waited.

Maybe the other rooms are nicer but it wasn't worth the money. I'd equal this to a Motel 6. We were very disappointed after hearing great things from other travelers.

We honeymooned at the Inn 11 years ago and have made it back once or twice a year for a stay and everytime it has been a joy, feels like we are visiting old friends. Have never found a place that has stayed so consisant over a period of time. We have stayed in the several different rooms and have found them all to be clean and comfortable the staff is always helpful with dinner and directions.
