Hotel was an excellent value for the location. It was convenient to restaurants and shopping. The property was very dated. The curtain rod in our room was lopsided and not secure to the wall. The min fridge was old and dented. The hallway paint was scuffed and dingy. There was not base molding along the floor in the hallway, which caused dirt and debris to collect between the wall and floor. There was a nice coffee machine in the lobby with fresh drinks available 24/7. Breakfast in the lobby was sparse and unappealing.
Beautiful view of the lighthouse from the balcony.

Good not great

The stay was fine. The location was excellent, the rooms were quiet, and the beds were comfortable. The hotel is in the heart of the pier/lighthouse area, and it was perfect for walking to restaurants for breakfast and dinner. The rooms were clean but very much in need of updating. We didn’t interact much with the staff, but when we did, they were professional and courteous. I might stay here again, but it was not a memorable stay.

Nice place

We enjoyed staying at Ocean Inn and suites. The location was very convenient to town, park, pier. They have started renovating but had stopped for the summer. Our room was on the lobby floor and just above the pool. It was clean and smelled fresh. The room is large, bed is very comfortable. Even though they were full it was very quiet and peaceful.

Terrible experience

This was a terrible experience. Would not stay here again. After seeing the room and then requesting a new room (we have NEVER made such a request before in our entire lives and we’ve stayed in some pretty sketch places when we were young and broke), we were very condescendingly informed that that’s what we got when we booked the “discounted room” - weren’t aware of this when we booked, and when we booked “the last room available” - that’s weird since we booked EIGHT MONTHS AGO. This clearly used to be an office that they threw a bed in and converted to a room. All of the furniture looked like it was left over from something else, mismatched, misaligned, scuffed… Maybe they can use this as a to-do list to fix before the next person they scam: The door to the room wasn’t even shut all the way when we checked in, it was cracked open. No peephole for security. The fridge door had no racks for the shelves so you couldn’t use the fridge door for storage. The freezer compartment didn’t have a door, so nothing to keep the temperature contained so everything in the fridge froze, the fridge had a layer of ice at the bottom. You couldn’t open the bathroom door all of the way because it hit the bed. There was no where to put our bags, except on a minuscule 1-drawer dresser under the wall mounted 30” tv or on a chair stuffed in the corner (partially blocking the closet), that faced the opposite direction of the tv. In the entire room, you had about 3’ of walking space around th

The view of the lighthouse and the size of our suite was amazing. The lady who checked us in was so friendly and helpful. However, finding previous guests clothing in the closet and on the floor in both rooms was unsettling. The bathrooms were disgusting. It looked like the shower hadn’t been scrubbed in months. We couldn’t lock the balcony door because the handle was broken and the guy who was at the front desk during the evening basically said you aren’t on a ground floor so don’t worry about it. First, that is a horrible response. Second, the other rooms balcony was so close to our balcony and someone absolutely could come in. Third, what if we had a toddler and we needed the door locked for safety??? Not only that but we couldn’t use the pool because there were two women smoking pot by the pool and they were acting extremely concerning. I don’t think they were staying there and maybe friends with the front desk guy. Just the way it appeared. We left the pool because we didn’t want our 10 year old exposed to that behavior. Then I was awoken to people arguing and screaming. THEY NEED SECURITY!!! We will never stay here again. The island is pretty safe but I didn’t feel that way at this hotel.
