Ocean Inn and Suites

The units

There’s very little parking available during busy times on the island, and we didn’t know until we arrived that this property was under construction. The hotel is older, but still ok. Everything was clean inside, but the pool needed to be vacuumed. Overall, it was fine, just not as nice as we had expected it to be for our anniversary trip.

Place is being renovated. There was no hot water, no ice & no means for unlimited coffee. They offered unlimited coffee. They had no coffee cups!

Other than that it was a good place to stay. A couple of the restaurants we wanted to try were right there within walking distance.

Staff was friendly, and the location was great!

We planned to stay here for two nights, with our young children, but almost immediately things became uncomfortable. We had a check-in time of 4 and arrived at 4:05. We were told our room was still being cleaned and it would be around an hour before the room was ready. We went to the park across the street, and no more than 20 minutes were called back saying the room was ready. We walked back into the lobby, and were greeted by the man behind the desk, for the second time in 30 minutes. He had no idea who we were. Things felt off, but we checked into our room anyways. We got on the elevator, realizing the elevator goes straight from the parking garage to any of the floors, meaning anyone can access the hotel at any time. Again, with two young children, that was a safety concern. As we walked down the hall to our room, it was filthy from construction. The room was filthy, the balcony was filthy, and the pool was filthy. We had no choice but to stay one night and check out the following morning. There were cockroaches in the room, the fire alarms on our floor were taped over for painting, and the smell was irritating. The few times we needed assistance in the lobby, we would wait 10-15 minutes for the same man who checked us in to come up from the garage. Not sure what he had going on but it was very uncomfortable. Location was great, the building has incredible potential, but cleanliness, safety, and comfort matter more as parents. Super disappointed.

The Tv did not work; and the shower made an extremely loud high pitch noise as the warm water flowed thru the shower head causing me to have a head ache. At check in.. I informed the gentleman that processed my check in that there were guests making out in the pool that also had coors light beers at the pool area while swimming.. He proceeded to make a joke about joining them but to make sure to only touch the woman because he’s a Christian and he don’t swing that way to touch the man … I was extremely shocked and appalled and when he saw the expression on my face he then realized that I was Gay and then he apologized and went on to say how he has gay friends that’s he’s cool with and they get along great as long as they don’t make a pass at him or flirt with him but other than that it’s cool.. I changed the subject and informed him that I had booked 2 rooms , one for me and my adopted son who just completed his first year as a corporal sarget in the marines and one room for my brother and his wife.. we were in town for a fishing trip.. I am from the I usually stay at the light house inn and have been for several years… in fact I have personally become friends with the hotel manager and over the years she has watched my son grow up and become a marine.. however I needed 2 rooms for this trip and they only had one available because of a wedding.. so I booked the 2 rooms here at the ocean inn.. honestly it was a mistake staying there

The staff was wonderful! Robert made you feel like family. It was clean and a little outdated but they are under major renovations so next year it will be even better. The coffee was amazing and serve yourself any time of day with a machine that made lattes, cappuccinos, etc. Just a short walk to the beach and the pier village restaurants and shops. Very affordable.

The only good thing was great location. It would be great to see a new owner take this hotel to a new level with fair prices for the area.

Despite the renovations that were going on, everything was great!!!!

The hotel was in the process of being remodeled but it did not cause any problems with our stay. The rooms will be very nice and up to date once the remodel is finished. We were in great walking distance to restaurants and downtown shopping. We will definitely stay again!

I would stay here again and already looking forward to my next visit.

Broken toilet, couldn’t fix it during our stay. Had to use the lobby bathroom.

The property will be lovely when renovations are completed. Right now it’s a little less than desirable however, they did notify after I booked that there was construction… I just didn’t see my message until after I stayed there and that is on me. The beds and pillows were comfortable and the room was clean that is really the most important…

The location was perfect. We rarely used the car. Good restaurants close by and lovely waterfront park right across the street. Construction continues inside but workmen not a problem. Our room was comfortable but dated. Never AC worked well. Pool was sparkling clean and inviting. Coffee machine available 24/7 was excellent. Breakfast minimal but did offer waffle machine, some cereal and muffin choices, milk and o.j. Covered parking garage on ground level. Lobby one floor up accessible by elevator. A generally quiet atmosphere during the day and always at night.

Our room was not well-maintained. The sheets didn’t even fit the bed properly, which immediately gave the impression that cleanliness and attention to detail were lacking. When we turned on the heat, the smell coming from the air conditioning unit was awful and strongly resembled urine. To make matters worse, the entire building was undergoing construction, something guests should be informed of before booking. The elevator was also out of service for an entire day, creating a major inconvenience. The pool area was disappointing as well. There were fire ants around the pool, and I ended up with multiple bites on my feet. The one positive aspect of this hotel is its location, which was convenient and close to everything we needed. However, with other options available nearby, I would strongly recommend choosing one of those instead. Unfortunately, this stay did not live up to the price, the photos, or the expectations set by the listing.

Very cute hotel in a great location

The room was mediocre at best

Hotel was being renovated though nothing was said or listed about this being the case when booking it. Hallways torn apart, entrance covered in plastic. Large commercial refuse container for construction outside our window view. Not very happy with this as we would not have booked this hotel, certainly not at their premium rate. Toilet ran noisily all night. General condition of hotel very poor!

Love the location! Everything walkable!
