Lavender Inn by the Sea

Lavender Inn by the Sea

"Good location, great value! We enjoyed relaxing by the pool and visiting the hot tub across at their sister property. Some nice breakfast choices, as well as complementary wine with cheese."

Beachside Inn

Beachside Inn

10/10 Excellent
"My reviews are almost always based on the level of cleanliness where I stay and this place has my approval. This makes me immediately feel comfortable and assured i will relax and enjoy my stay without worrying about germs or other visible proof of someone else's stay there. Aside from the cleanliness, staff is friendly, accommodating, and not too much in your face. Breakfast is a plus as we were able to grab it downstairs and eat it on our balcony overlooking the harbor. The location is great and walking distance to the beach and good restaurants. Also, a quick ride to other shops, bars and restaurants on State Street with the security of our own parking so we can come and go as we please. Overall, highly recommend and hope to return."

8/10 Good
"The hotel is conveniently located to the freeway and beaches, without being too noisy or busy of a neighborhood. The room was spacious and clean, but in disrepair despite having a probably recent facelift. Staff were friendly and the pool area, though pretty small, was a nice surprise."

"Wonderful stay. Spacious rooms. Great location, walkable to the beach and State St for those that enjoy walking. Shower water temperature had issues but was fixed right away. Pool was nice. The lobby always had ice water and lemonade. Breakfast was lovely and so was the afternoon cheese and wine. Definitely recommend and would return."

10/10 Excellent
"We've stayed at this property before and like it because it's a couple of blocks from the beach, 5 minutes to Stearns Wharf and State Street and Good value for the money . You can tell that the owners and staff take pride with keeping things up to date and running smoothly. I highly recommend"

La Playa Inn

La Playa Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The young man at the front desk was very welcoming, and the room was clean and comfortable. The hotel appears to have been recently renovated, and the bed was comfortable. The building was also very quiet, which made for a pleasant stay. There really aren’t many amenities—no pool, Jacuzzi, or anything along those lines. The continental breakfast was pretty basic, consisting mostly of packaged pastries and yogurt, along with a small amount of fresh fruit. It’s enough to get you going in the morning, but definitely not what I would consider a great continental breakfast. Overall, the hotel is nice, clean, quiet, and comfortable. One of the biggest advantages is the location. It’s within easy walking distance of both State Street and the beach—approximately a 10-minute walk to State Street and about five minutes to the beach"
