Excellent location from the beach. Not too busy, the rooms were pretty good size for what it contains. We love the walkable distance from the beach and enough distance away from the busy streets. Staff were very nice. Would stay here again!

The hotel is in a great location and it is newly renovated. We were right outside the pool, however on the first floor, which did made it feel a lot less private and the walls were thin, but all in all it was a very good stay.

My stayed in the Mason Inn Beach was amazing! I came with my family to celebrate my birthday and I got the most pleasant time at this property. The moment I checked in the staff was very welcoming and friendly, the property looks clean sharp and amenities are very comfortable. Perfect stay for families, vacations and getaways. I highly recommend the Mason Inn Beach, close to the beach and the downtown SB.

Very small rooms— not enough space to open regular (checked) luggage. Water in lobby only from 9AM to 6PM. Water bottles in room $6 for maybe 12 oz. Parking $20/night which is fair. Though Beach Inn Next door and one block close to beach offered breakfast and free parking…and had a nice pool /hottub area
