Coastal Inn

The inside is updated and nice, as is the outside of the building. The wood door really should be replaced as it lacks security and privacy. The shade covering the door window is ripped and no longer fits so we hung toilet paper on the sides for more privacy. The unit is decorated nicely; maybe an area rug would give it more of a homey/welcoming feeling. Price was excellent.

Definitely not as expected from ******* listing and motel website. "View" out the back window was of a tall fence 2 feet from the window. (No lake views out the front. It's on the other side of the street, behind a different motel) Nobody present during the posted limited office hours, sign gave a number to text, but those texts went unanswered. Paper thin walls and front door meant hearing ALL of the passing traffic, as well as the guy in the adjacent room having a screaming meltdown all night and the next morning.. (Staff actually on site would have needed to deal with the disruption) Tiny shower in tiny bathroom, with no exhaust fan. (Bath window, the only way to ventilate the bath, wide open upon arrival). Hit my head on the sink standing up from the toilet. (It's THAT close) "Breakfast" of cereal or half loaves of store bread not available until sometime between 8 and 9. Generic K-cups for coffee. Never did find the advertised bottled water. Bottom line: 50s dive motel for a major chain hotel price, with no charm or views to redeem it

Comfortable beds, good linens, good wifi, and easy check in/out. Coffee maker in room broken, no water bottles as advertised, moldy baked goods for breakfast, shower head good if 5ft tall or under, and no daily maid service.

Great place, accommodates for later check in times, provides numbers and address for local places to eat and emergency services just in case. Staff was very nice as well.

The convenience was great! I really liked the process for check in and out. I appreciated being able to text that I didn't need housekeeping for the day. Thank you.

Loved that we were able to walk to the beach and watch the sunset on Crystal Lake. We could of watched it from our rooms as well.

The room was not too roomy and had sand all over the non-carpeted floor. There was no hot water after a 20 min. wait. It was situated right on a busy road with noise all night. Might have been quieter on the back side. There were 2 rooms filled on our side of the building and we were situated right next door to one another. Those folks were loud and we wished we could have been situated further away. We never saw an employee of the place. Check in was by code which I was not able to find right away. A bit confusing.

Left a day early walls were so thin. We could hear the people opening their beer. the party that went on till 3 AM.

The property is quiet and cute, with a nice pool, deck, and fire ring. The manager is very responsive, and he reached out prior to our arrival to give us a room key code so we could arrive anytime. A typical continental breakfast was available. The bathroom was small, the rooms were clean...so clean in fact that it was problematic. When arrived, we were overwhelmed by the smell of cleaning agents. We opened all the windows and left. It took six hours for it to air out. Once the clean smell had neutralized, I noticed the detergent smell of the bedsheets. I am allergic to two types of detergent fragrance. The scent on the sheets had me so concerned that I slept on top of the bedspread with clothing covering everything but my head. I got a contact dermatitis rash on a patch of my face, probably from the pillow. Obviously, I appreciate that the linens were laundered, but I've never had this issue at another motel/hotel. It's a relatively easy fix to use unscented laundry detergent, though it takes several times through the wash to get scented detergent out of fabric. I know most people don't have a reaction to laundry detergent fragrance, but if I'd seen a review with this info, I would have chosen other lodging.
