Very lovely rooms- they are more like mini cabins. So cute and the staff was extra friendly- referred to us as “family”

The host family of this hotel is friendly and caring. The limited continental breakfast was a good, light way to start the day. The linens were clean and there were extras in the closet. The mattress was a bit hard but there were good choices of pillows on the bed. The location is good with enough parking for the guests. The coffee maker in the room is excellent as is the fridge. There was a fan in the closet and a ceiling fan but no air-conditioning. There are bikes to rent but we brought our own so I can not report on that. Great bike riding area!

The staff at the Sunset Inn were incredibly friendly. They greeted us like family upon arrival. The manager gave us great food recommendations and even a bday gift for my wife! The room was great, in a quiet neighborhood and about a half mile from the beach.

The Sunset Inn was quant and cozy! Rishi was very nice and check in was a breeze. He made you feel like you were friends or extended family that were coming to visit and cared that you made sure you had everything to enjoy your stay. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. We loved the beach theme. Great water pressure in the shower and hot water heats up fast. Would definitely stay here again!

The owner is wonderful. Treats you like family and very gracious. Near enough to the water. Nice 5-10 minute walk away. It’s my new favorite place to stay

We had a great experience at this hotel. We liked that each room was a little cottage like area. We were able to check in fine and were treated like family. What we felt was unsatisfactory. There was just not a lot of space to do either. The breakfast in the morning was a little sparse as well. We would stay her again though. We has a pleasant experience.

Our stay was Outstanding! The service was amazingly refreshing - better than a 5 star luxury hotel. Rishi is the Master of Customer Service! The hotel landscaping was lovely with most plants and bushes in large colorful pots. The room was updated with a beautiful bathroom. Easy walk to the beach. We will refer our family and friends and return again for a pleasant stay!

We've stayed here many times over the years. Room was cleaned well, there are minor cosmetic issues, but this is an older establishment and to be expected. The grounds are clean and well maintained. Rishi, General Manager, is wonderful at customer service and wants everyone to feel like family. We will stay here again.
