Mermaid Inn
So be aware that you were getting what you pay for in this hotel it has been somewhat remodeled to an art deco style and the staff was helpful, but check-in and out was very awkward. Somewhat pleased with the price but definitely got what I paid for that price it was average on cleanliness

The staff was extremely accommodating and communicated well. Our room had an awesome view, was clean, and looked nice. The only downs were the pool was not exceptionally clean(but could be from storms that week) and the fridge didn’t get super cold. I would definitely stay here again and it was appropriate for the price paid.

👎 Mermaid Inn. This Mermaid is out!
This place is terrible. There is no staff anywhere to do anything. I mean not even a desk staff. There were parties all nite, so loud it was impossible to sleep. Do not waste your money!

Great
Overall the hotel was great!! Walking distance to the beach, has a pool and convenient to stores and food. I will stay here again but not in the same month. I happened to go while a school was there for spring break and it was loud at times even after hours and they left a mess.

Cheap and run down hotel; good location
Location is great; right on beach! Rooms were clean and we didn't see any bugs. Beds were comfortable. However, there was no deadbolt on the door. Room had no hangers at all and stairs up to room looked like they were about to rust through! There was no cleaning service at all during the stay. Shower was terrible! Pool was green and murky. I asked for a late check out and was told we could have one if I left a 5 star review on Google and sent them a screen shot. I declined since that is unethical. Overall, not a good experience.

Disappointing
Definitely was an experience. Lots of young partying kids, revving motorcycle engines, loud, the shower had a dirty wash cloth and a razor in it.

I paid for an ocean front view and did not get it. There's no check in, you check in through emails. The shower didn't have the proper shower head on it.

Big roaches all over the room. Especially at night and wouldn’t refund money. I had a daughter with health conditions. Will be further taking action

The motel was basic with no frills but very clean and suited me perfectly. I traveled with my 2 dogs and our accommodations were very good. The location was perfect - right off the beach with excellent areas to walk my pups. Check in was different than I’ve had at other motels/hotels. It was done via text. No one was actually on the property but instructions were clear and went well. I will definitely return!

It was what you would expect for a 100 a night motel I think anyway it being right on the ocean.

DISAPPOINTED
Don't ask for extra towels because you will not get them. Don't ask for anything after hours for no one is on the property to assist you with anything. I had to help several other customers find the janitors closet to get the keys to their rooms because their codes didn't work. Those are not listed properly. Just luckily I was outside the room at midnight and they approached me. NO ONE that works there SPEAKS ENGLISH if you call they hang up because they say don't understand. I complained about BUG activity and they reassured me there wasn't any.
