This is by FAR the most well maintained property I have stayed at in Ocean Shores, and I’ve stayed at many. I loved it. As I’ve never stayed at The Canterbury before, I spent quite some time looking at reviews and came across multiple references to the ‘rules’. Once I booked and received the email, I realized it was all common sense. These are well maintained units in a nice establishment. If you want to sneak dogs in, or leave them unattended aside from a quick trip to the pool, don’t stay here. If you want people in your room who aren’t on your reservation, don’t stay here. If you want to let kids run rampant or drop them off at the pool without any adult supervision, don’t stay here. If you want to party, make a mess of your room, and it’s too much of an inconvenience to dispose of trash at the end of the hall, don’t stay here. The person who reserved the room is the person who needs to be present upon check-in. Don’t check in early if you don’t want to pay $25 and don’t check out late. I don’t understand the confusion. Common sense. Respect. If you DO want a place that takes pride in their establishment, has lovely grounds and clean, well stocked rooms, offers courteous 24 hour customer service, cares about its guests and respects the owners of the units, and knows that the only people who have a problem with ‘the rules’ are the people who want to break them, do yourself a favor and stay here. I look forward to another peaceful, lovely stay here and will return asap.

The woman who checked us in was terrible! She started complaining about how the room I checked out was really weird but always checked out because it's the “cheapest room.” She spoke for about 5 minutes about how weird the room was and kept mentioning how cheap it was as if I couldn't afford more. When I asked her about upgrading the room because I thought our room had two beds and I'd be willing to pay for a better room, she firmly said no and that every room was booked all weekend. I later found out this was a lie as other staff told me there were other rooms available. She then talked to us at length about her family problems and then promptly told us she would “not be helping us anymore” because she was “off the clock and going home” so if we had any problems “don't talk to me.” The other staff were very kind and polite which is why this is not a one star. There is no beach access as advertised as the trail just leads to a swampy area about a quarter mile away from the actual beach. The DVD and TV system is also weird - in 2024 I would expect to at least be able to access and log into applications using the TV and not just cable TV or DVDs. For a hotel that cost over $100 a night I was expecting more even if I did get the “cheap room.” In short the very first experience with the receptionist who checked us in left a terrible taste in my mouth and I will not be returning to Canterbury regardless of the other things that are nice about this hotel.

We rated this at 2 stars for a few reasons. Firstly, the emails we received immidiately on booking. The list of rules and regulations were..lets say very detailed. And they offered to cancel your room if you didn't agree with them. Which is upfront...but not a good start to a fun vacation. Had I seen that email on Expedia prior to booking...I would have just not booked with them. I highly recommend putting that email up. We've stayed in many condo/beach locations..first time for us getting such a long detailed list. Anyways..moving on..the email mentioned a early check in fee during the 'busy season' without mentioning any dates. They really need to specify dates. They charged us $25 plus tax for checking in 1.5 hours earlier...on the 9th April when the town was pretty much empty and like 2 people on the beaches. Most hotels do not even start the busy season till May....and they always specify dates. By the time we got through check-in..we were pretty much done with the Inn. That being said..the check in area was very nicely done up. The room in contrast was very dated but clean. It had all the provisions, good condition, and beds were comfortable. The walk to the beach was an adventure that I do not recommend for anyone but the fittest. Overall..we will book elsewhere next time. But if you don't mind the policing tone..this has all the facilities for a good time.
