“A very good place to stay. Inexpensive, nice pool, nice patio area in back, etc.”
The Dockside Inn is a very small hotel (only 14 rooms in all). I prefer smaller hotels because you are actually able to use the pool without having to swim through a crowd of people. The pool itself, and the entire pool area was very clean. We used it almost every day. It was very quiet at the hotel, with the lone exception of the incessant traffic noise along Del Prado blvd (even at night). There is a very nice area in the back of hotel: dock, water view, and patio area. The only other thing I did not like about the hotel (other than the traffic noise) was that the room was not cleaned the entire week we stayed (March 1 - 8). They also did not change out the towels (unless we requested it). I guess this isn't really that bad, I am just used to clean sheets and towels every day at other hotels I've stayed at over the years. All-in-all, I would say that the Dockside Inn is a great place to stay. It was very comfortable there, fairly quiet, not too many guests, and there was plenty to do in the immediate vicinity. Loved the pool!
