Tranquil House Inn
"Adorable inn right on the water. Staff was super friendly! It’s an older building so there’s some reasonable “character” here and there but overall you can see it’s a well cared for. Its location is wonderful and we would definitely stay again!"

Mariner Inn and Suites
"Upon checking in to the room, we realized that there was no soap in the bathroom and no shower curtain. The front desk was responsive and took care of both when contacted. The hotel is older, and the room had a musty and sweaty smell, which the air conditioner helps to cover a bit."

Sea Ranch Resort
"I was put in a stinky dirty 1st floor room 2 queen. When I asked to be moved they put me in a king size room and I had to pay for a cot. I will not be going back. The rugs are gross, The first room I was put in smelt like poop. I bought Lysol but it did not help at all"
