    Bare minimum was done to be able to stay here. Pool clearly hasn’t been cleaned in weeks, bugs, dirt, loud AC units.

    Pros: Beach Access: Unbeatable proximity to a wonderfully quiet, relaxing stretch of beach, which is perfect for kids. Ambiance: A peaceful coastal atmosphere away from massive tourist crowds. Dining: Easy access to excellent local restaurants in the immediate area. Cons: Cleanliness: The floor was completely dirty and sticky upon arrival. Walking barefoot was impossible. No Service: No room service and towels were never changed. Nobody was on-site or reachable to even ask for fresh ones—you are left completely on your own. Broken Amenities: Refrigerator handles were broken off. Only one of two TVs worked. The window curtain had a hole, causing zero privacy at night and an early wake-up call from the bright morning sun. Too Small: The bathroom is way too tiny for five people and not built for this occupancy. Verdict: The peaceful beach and great dining barely save a second star. If you want a clean room, working amenities, or basic service, do not book here. Great location, awful management.

    This place had roaches. There is nobody onsite therefore it is a place for underaged kids drinking alcohol. Kids that are drunk running up and down knocking on doors and running away. Very loud around there . I called the number provided and they don't care. Nobody even came to check out the roach problem.

    When we arrived it was nice we found our room easy but there was loud teens in the pool and this was at 11 pm we went to the beach for till 1 am and when we came back there was police cause of the teens. And then we wanted to just check the pool and the lady in the room next to the pool opened her door and started yelling at me and my family. We tried to tell her politely that we weren't with the teenagers and she still wanted to yell at us and tell us how she had a two year old and they were sleeping and we needed to keep if down and not slam stuff we told her we would be quite and then the teenagers came back so we went to our room. Next morning a man in the parking lot was asking us if we owned a black truck cause it hit his and another vehicle while we were standing at our white vehicle. When we tried to go to the office to talk to someone before check out the doors were locked and couldn't find anyone. All together would of been a better stay if someone would have been there to deal with the teenagers and the lady yelling at everyone and next time we will not choose this hotel. Even though it had a good price the atmosphere was not friendly.

    No staff on site for check in. We did not mind the contactless check in, but the door was not easy to use and stuck many times during our two night stay.

    However, our initial impression was affected by the condition of the room upon arrival. The bedding did not appear to be clean, the bathtub required additional cleaning, and the shower curtain was visibly worn and appeared due for replacement. We also noticed that the floors were sticky and chose to clean them ourselves before settling in. Overall, we had a satisfactory stay, but the housekeeping standards and room cleanliness could be improved. Greater attention to cleaning and room preparation prior to guest arrival would help enhance the overall guest experience.

    Need to clean the room better especially the floors

    Exceptional

    Beach is literally a one second walk. And it’s close to everything.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    There could have been a couple of more trash cans in the room. Everything else was cool!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The Mermaid Inn was conveniently located on the beach. It was a short walk and easy access to the beach and pool. The only thing we disliked was the parking lot. It was extra hard to maneuver through it and oftentimes people were blocking the road so you could not come and go.

    Very good

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Close to the beach The bathroom needs an update the towels and shower curtain stain and looked dirty.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    No one is available at property No linen for room reached out to management Told me to wait till tomorrow

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Close to the beach but no beach view I liked the easy check in. This was the only place available at the last minute I feel over charged. The tv did not work it was another room attached where we could literally hear everything going on they are extremely loud. I had to turn on ac to drown out the sound. It took about an hour but maintenance did come to fix the tv issue after I continued to call back to back. They sent a message about late check in but never responded when I asked for it after being up half the night. From previous reviews if you leave a good rating you can get the late check in so beware. Floors were also ever slippery and dirty.

    The room was pretty clean for the most part. There was some dust and cobwebs behind the curtains. Room was a bit upgraded, but ceiling was disgusting. Bed was super comfortable and room got nice and chilly to sleep! This is a self check in hotel so no staff to talk about. Ice machine could use a good cleaning. King size bedroom could use a small couch. No ocean view from the room, but a two minute walk away.
