Close to the beach, clean room. They called me the second day to ask if we needed anything! There aren't really any amenities or even a waiting room, but the space was great for the price we paid.

This was the perfect getaway, less than a mile to the beach. Affordable. Comfy beds. Nice staff who upgraded us to a downstairs unit as it was difficult for us to climb stairs, which included a free upgrade from double beds to queen beds. Housekeeping staff was very kind and understanding, as we did get a stomach illness during our trip & had to leave the room in a less than desirable condition. All around, would stay here again.

Just stayed one night. The street was pretty noisy. The blanket was thin and there were no additional blankets in the room.

The new renovations were a bonus - and a very comfortable bed. Rude guests making noise with their children and a party truck at 11pm ruined the calm and quiet accommodations - but this wasn't the fault of the hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful upon check in. I would encourage travelers to consider the Dune Surfer Inn if they are in the area.

Would love to have a later check out option. Only gave us 15 minutes which was nice but not enough when we needed the extra time due to stomach issues.
