Good location to walk to beach and restaurants. Property could use some TLC. Although our room was newly renovated, the outdoor areas are cramped and in need of repairs. Stairs were steep and difficult for anyone over 35. Nice mini fridge, microwave, sink, etc but we didn’t stay long enough to use them.

If you just LOVE chain hotels, avoid this place. It’s got charm, good location, character, and a real Inn Keeper. All the wonderful things chain hotels lack. It’s anything but cookie cutter.

The Inn was charming. Rooms were close together but the soundproofing was excellent. The room was completely modern and comfortable. The beach is across the street -- so close!!

Loved the place. It was a little bit jaded, but it was the end of the season. Bay view rooms are excellent, brilliant views. Onset bay is a really nice place to spend a few days. Traffic noise from the road out front is not good, perhaps some better double glazing would help.

The location is great with a nice view of Onset Bay. The inn is right on the road across from the bay. Traffic can get busy and a little noisy and parking is very limited. Check in was easy and the staff was great. Room was clean and large. close to places to grab a bite to eat.
