Inn by the Sea

Our room was beautiful and spacious! The bed and pillows were so comfortable and sheets wonderfully soft. Our patio was steps away from the nature preserve which was a birding enthusiast’s dream. Bring your binoculars! A short walk to the path down to the beach. And we took a lovely bike ride to Dyer Cove at the end of Two Lights Rd (near The Lobster Shack at Two Lights) using the complementary bikes. Can’t wait to go back.

I can say the location was perfect. The atmosphere was wonderful. The suites were, two out of three acceptable. One of our suites had no air-conditioning first night and a leaking dishwasher within the first 30 minutes of arrival.Unfortunately this was a VERY hot day and night. My expectations were definitely not met from What one would think from a hotel like this.

We enjoyed a short stay here at the end of June. We loved everything. The food, the room, the beach, the service, the gym-everything. We definitely will be back and will come with our kids and other family.

Booked this Hotel in February for June stay. Asked for and was told we had a second floor Beach Suite. Called a few weeks later to confirm and again was told we had a SECOND FLOOR Beach suite. Upon arrival guess what, put in a FIRST FLOOR suite. After long discussion as to what happened, with no explanation or apparent interest, were told we could stay in first floor suite one night then move to a third floor suite the next day. So we were thrown out of first floor suite by 11:00 so they could clean for next guest, and moved our luggage out to car and sat by pool 4 hours waiting to get a room. Absolutely awful customer service. It was like that old Seinfeld episode when he says you know how to take a reservation but you don't know how to keep a reservation. At about $1300 a night they should know how to keep a reservation or make up for the screw up by the obviously badly trained and intellectually challenged staff who changed the original reservation. It's a beautiful place a bit on the small side as Hotels go with small pool, very small bar and the 6 tables that constitute a lounge and small, but looked like never full, very ordinary restaurant. We have been here before, last time 10 years ago, and it looks like things really haven't kept up with the times. So, if you plan on going here I would make many calls in advance to insure they put you in the room you would like and even doing so who knows where you will wind up. Good luck with that. There are many Hotels along the coast where you can get better, much better treatment for $1300 a night, they might even treat you like they want your business, instead of whos next in line attitude.... You might check out the Cliff House up the road, we stayed there last month and they actually treated us like they cared and we had a remarkable time . Good luck.

Location was ideal. The staff was so friendly, and all the extras like a reading light, binoculars, snores night, coffee, beach activities - it all added up to a wonderful trip. 100% family friendly
