"Staff are friendly, rooms clean. Only issue: AC makes loud noise when turning on. Everything else perfect."

Ocean Manor Inn

8/10 Good

"I paid the extra $30 to check into my room earlier than 3 pm. I thought the early check in was at 12 noon but went I went to check in at the front desk, Connie abruptly stated that the early check in is at 12:30 pm n that I could come back at that time to check in. She turned back to her computer screen and that was that. A little more kindness would have gone a long way since first impressions matter. I read such wonderful reviews about this place so that first encounter was a let down. I did return at 12:30 pm to check in and I figured I had to use extra kindness. Perhaps she was having a rough day. I did go to use the lobby rest room and there was feces on the toilet seat. I declined using the toilet n just washed my hands instead. I told Connie n she quickly called someone to take care of the matter. She asked the person on the other end if they could just call the cleaning lady because she had difficultly understanding her due to a language barrier. Our second encounter went a lot smoother. There are actually two buildings across the street from each other. Rooms were clean n beds were very comfortable. The 4 square pillows on each bed, a n little lumpy so I’m glad I brought my own. Close to the beach. Beach tags avail for $3/day. Normal cost at beach is $10/day or $20/wk. Located 1 block back from beach. As I returned the beach tags, I noticed the American Bunting Flags on fence were mounted inside out. I found this disrespectful and hope it gets fixed."
